The history of the Yorba Cemetery dates back to 1834. The cemetery closed in 1939. As part of their dedication to the preservation of Orange County's cultural history, the Board of Supervisors in 1967 accepted the deed of the cemetery from the Catholic Archdiocese of Los Angeles.
There are over 400 burials in this cemetery but only about 135 headstones. It is considered the oldest private cemetery in Orange County, Ca and possibly the oldest in the state. Original Spanish settlers to this area are buried here. The cemetery has been closed to burials since 1939. The cemetery is opened the first Saturday of every month (weather permitting) At 10:00 a.m. for local history tours. The tours are free to the public.
