History

On November 1, 1776, Mission San Juan Capistrano became the area's first permanent European settlement in Alta California, New Spain. On May 11 1920, Harper changed its name to Costa Mesa, which means "tableland coast" in Spanish language Costa Mesa surged in population during and after World War II, as many thousands trained at Santa Ana Army Air Base and returned after the war with their families. The population was 116,479 as of January 1, 2009 . An 1889 flood wiped out the railroad serving the community, however, and it shriveled. After the 1769 expedition of Gaspar de Portolà, a Spanish Empire expedition led by Father Junípero Serra named the area Vallejo de Santa Ana (Valley of Saint Anne).
