As the second oldest city in Southern Orange County, the origin of the name of Laguna Beach dates back all the way back to when the Spanish controlled California. Laguna Canyon was originally known to the Spanish as “La Canada de Las Lagunas” which means “The Canyon of the Small Lakes.” This was in reference to the two small lakes found at the beginning of Laguna Canyon. The most intriguing bit of history about Laguna Beach is that back during the time when California was divided off from Mexico, the area was actually considered to be completely worthless! Of course, many years later, Laguna Beach is now home to some of the most sought-after real estate in Orange County, including prime beachfront properties and spectacular ocean view estates for sale.
