Near that same site sits the second oldest private cemetery in the county, the historic Yorba Cemetery. The site of the Bernardo Yorba Hacienda, referred to as the Don Bernardo Yorba Ranch House Site, is listed as a California Historical Landmark. A portion of the city's land is still owned and developed by descendants of Samuel Kraemer, who acquired it through his marriage to Angelina Yorba, the great-granddaughter of Bernardo Yorba. Most of this original land was retained after the Mexican–American War in 1848 by descendants of the Yorba family. In 1810, the Spanish crown granted José Antonio Yorba 63,414 acres of land, which "spread across much of modern-day Orange County." In 1834, following Mexico's independence from Spain, Yorba's most successful son, Bernardo Yorba (after whom the city would later be named), was granted the 13,328-acre (53.94 km 2) Rancho Cañón de Santa Ana by Mexican governor José Figueroa. Yorba Linda is named after Don Bernardo Yorba, noted Californio figure in early 19th century California. Spanish colonization between 17 brought "disease, invasive species, and livestock" into the area, which "upended the ecological balance of the region and forced the Tongva to resettle around three missions." The village of Hutuknga was located in the area of Yorba Linda. The area is the home of the Tongva, Luiseño, and Juaneño tribal nations, who were there "as early as 4,000 years ago." The Tongva defined their world as Tovaangar, a nation which "extended from Palos Verdes to San Bernardino, from Saddleback Mountain to the San Fernando Valley" and included the entire territory of present-day Yorba Linda. The name was created 1908 by the Janss Investment Company. The name Yorba Linda is made up of two parts: Yorba, after Don Bernardo Yorba, a Californio ranchero who historically owned the area, and Linda, Spanish for beautiful. His birthplace is a National Historic Landmark, and his presidential library and museum are also located in the city. Yorba Linda is known for its connection to Richard Nixon, the 37th president of the United States. It is part of the Los Angeles metropolitan area, and had a population of 68,336 at the 2020 census.
