During Spanish rule, Hacienda Heights was a part of Rancho La Puente, which was directed by the close-by Mission San Gabriel Arcangel in San Gabriel. The Rancho was eventually acquired by John A.

Rowland and William Workman in 1845 via a Mexican territory grant, and eventually acquired by Elias "Lucky" Baldwin. In 1912, his descendant, Anita Baldwin, sold the property to Edwin Hart and Jet Torrance. The pair subdivided the region and titled it North Whittier Heights, which became known for avocado, citrus and walnut orchards, in 1913. However, from the Great Depression era to the early 1940s, citrus burgeoning became unprofitable because of pests and diseases, setting the impetus for the area's transformation into a suburb. Originally an agricultural town, beginning in the 1940s and accelerating in the 1950s, suburban residentiary development, which occurred southward (beginning on subdivisions near Kwis Avenue), transformed Hacienda Heights into a residentiary or bedroom community. In 1961, the Hacienda Heights Branch of the Los Angeles County Public Library opened. The following year, in 1961, the region was retitled Hacienda Heights. In 1964, the small-town newspaper, the Hacienda Heights Highlander, was established.
