Diamond Bar, California. As with many Southern California communities, Diamond Bar's recorded history began with a Mexican land grant. On March 30, 1840, Governor Juan Alvarado deeded 4,340 acres to Jose de la Luz Linares. Linares died in 1847, and his widow sold a portion of the ranch to Ricardo Vejar for $100 in merchandise, 100 calves, and the assumption of her late husband's debts. Vejar already owned the Rancho San Jose to the east and by acquiring the rest of Rancho Los Nogales over the next ten years became the fifth wealthiest landowner in Los Angeles County.
Vejar's luck did not last. When the United States government took over California and resurveyed the old land grants, he ended up with only 464 acres. Vejar had been trading with two Los Angeles merchants, Isaac Schlesinger and Hyman Tischler, and they loaned him $600 for supplies at an interest rate of eight percent per month. When the note, with compounded interest, was finally called in, Vejar couldn't pay, and his property passed to Schlesinger and Tischler in 1864.
The Rancho Los Nogales did not prosper under its new owners, and they were surrounded by hostile neighbors who remained loyal to Vejar. In 1866, they sold the ranch to Louis Phillips for $30,000, bringing his holdings to over 12,000 acres. He called the community "Spadra," after his hometown in Arkansas, and this became the first named settlement in the Diamond Bar area.
A two-hour drive lands you beside the waters of Lake Arrowhead, or in the snowy mountains of Big Bear. Whether you prefer the hills and canyons in the city, the nearby mountains, the sun on the surf, or the desert, Diamond Bar places you at the center of the active Southern California life-style. The Diamond Bar Golf Course has 18 beautiful and challenging holes, and the Los Angeles National Golf Course is just down the road. Diamond Bar's parks offer residents more than 80 acres of recreational facilities. Mt. San Antonio College and California Polytechnic University, Pomona are located at the north edge of town, while California State University, Fullerton is just ten minutes to the south.
Today's Diamond Bar is a young, upscale residential community of about 56,000, situated among the meandering hills and valleys of Brea Canyon. Some things have not changed very much since the days of Linares and Vejar, and cattle can still be seen grazing on the undeveloped hillsides.
