Brea, one of the oldest communities in Orange County, was incorporated in 1917 as the city of “oil, oranges and opportunity.” Already well-established as an oil producer, Olinda village in Brea’s rolling northern hills continued to draw workers, and it was time to organize a town and prepare for growth.

Today, Brea is a bustling but close-knit community and dynamic business hub providing employment opportunities and strong tax base that allows Brea residents to enjoy a high level of public services rarely found in a smaller community.
