Title supplied by cataloger. The city of La Habra, not to be confused with La Habra Heights, was incorporated under general law on January 20, 1925 with a population of 3,000. By 1928, the city bore the distinction of being the largest avocado center in Southern California, and for over 70 years La Habra was home to the Hass Avocado Mother Tree, an accidental seedling planted by Rudolph Hass in the 1920s. Unfortunately, the Hass Mother Tree succumbed to root rot in 2002, but not before making the fruit from this tree the most popular avocado cultivars worldwide. As of the 2000 census, La Habra had a total population of 58,974. View overlooking terraced avocado fields in La Habra. A white line, most likely a road, appears along the lower portion of the mountain.
