Review:
Historic Yorba Cemetery is one of Orange County's oldest cemeteries, originally established on Rancho Cañon de Santa Ana, the private ranch property of Bernardo Yorba, in 1834. Following Yorba's death in 1858, the cemetery property and the nearby San Antonio Chapel was deeded to the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Los Angeles for use as a public cemetery facility. Many pioneer residents of the Santa Ana Canyon area were buried at the cemetery between 1860 and 1939, when the cemetery was closed for new interments. Today, the cemetery is maintained as an historic site by the Orange County Parks department, open to the public for limited access within the city's Woodgate Park neighborhood. Tours of the cemetery are conducted on the first Saturday morning of each month at 10:00am, with the exception of the month of May.
