Histori
Members GabrieleÃÆ' Â ± o/Tongva and JuaneÃÆ' Â ± o/LuiseÃÆ' Â ± o the old nation inhabited the area. After the expedition of 1769 Gaspar de PortolÃÆ', the Spanish expedition led by JunÃÆ'pero Serra named the Vallejo de Santa Ana area (the Saint Anne Valley). On November 1, 1776, Mission San Juan Capistrano became the first permanent European settlement in Alta California, New Spain.
In 1801, the Spanish Empire gave 62,500 hectares (253 km 2 ) to Jose Antonio Yorba, whom he named Rancho San Antonio. Yorba's great Rancho includes the land where the Olive, Orange, Villa Park, Santa Ana, Tustin, Costa Mesa and Newport Beach communities are standing today.
After the Mexican-American war, California became part of the United States and American settlers arrived in this area and formed the town of Fairview in the 1880s near the modern intersections of Harbor Boulevard and Adams Avenue. The flood of 1889 wiped out the railroads that served the community, however, and it withered.
In the south, meanwhile, the Harper community appeared on the edge of Santa Ana and Newport Railroad, named after a local breeder. The city is prosperous on its agricultural goods. On May 11, 1920, Harper changed his name to Costa Mesa, which literally means "beach table" (land) "in Spanish. This is a reference to the geography of the city as a coastal high plateau.
Costa Mesa increased in population during and after World War II, as thousands of people trained at the Air Force Air Force Base Santa Ana and returned after the war with their families. Within three decades of incorporation, city dwellers almost reached five percent.
