Founded in 1870, Riverside was built on land once used as a Spanish rancho and its first citrus trees were planted a year later. From it’s very early days, it was a place where the citrus industry thrived, with the boom beginning after a woman named Eliza Tibbets discovered her Brazilian navel orange trees thrived in the Southern California climate. Today, Lennar’s Citrus Heights community is a nod to the area’s rich history.
In Southern California, Riverside grew to become a major producer of oranges. By 1882, there were more than half a million citrus trees in California, almost half of which were in Riverside. As innovations in technology developed, including the development of refrigerated railroad cars and complex irrigation systems, Riverside grew to be wealthiest city per capita by 1895.
You can see this rich history commemorated in the landscapes and exhibits at the California Citrus State Historic Park, the restored packing houses in downtown’s Marketplace District and now in the name of Lennar’s newest community to the Riverside area, Citrus Heights.
