history

In 1840, Jose de la Luz Linares received the 1760 hectare "Ranch of the Walnut Trees" (German: "Ranch of the Walnut Trees") from Governor Juan Alvarado . The land included the Brea Canyon and the eastern Walnut Valley. Linares died in 1847 and his widow sold part of the land to Ricardo Vejar for $ 100 in goods, 100 calves, and to take over the remaining debts of her late husband. Vejar also owned the San Jose Ranch to the east and acquired the remainder of the Nogales Ranch over the next 10 years.

After some time, especially after the United States took over California, Los Nogales was split into several small parts and these were sold. The largest section was the Diamond Bar Ranch. At the time she was one of the largest working cattle ranches in the western United States. The entire Diamond Bar Ranch was purchased by the Transamerica Corporation in the 1950s to help develop one of America's first planned communities. Transamerica named the community Diamond Bar and incorporated the “diamond and bar cattle” brand into various logos, many of which are still in use today.

The first houses were built in 1960 in the immediate vicinity of the planned Pomona Freeway, which was completed ten years later in this area. The city and the number of inhabitants developed rapidly after its commissioning.

Transamerica oversaw the entire development of the community in the 1960s. The Trancamerica Corporation sold all real estate investments in the 1970s and 1980s. As a result, the Diamond Bar project was sold to many different investors and many points of the plan could not be realized in the second half of the implementation phase in the 1980s.

The town of Diamond Bar was incorporated on April 8, 1989.
