How Lomas Laguna was built
Lewis Moulton, who leased Rancho Niguel to run sheep and bought it in 1895, married Nellie Gail in 1908 and they had two daughters, Charlotte in 1910 and Louise in 1914. Eighty six percent of residents voted for cityhood on 5 March 1991, and Laguna Hills became a city on 20 December 1991.
Every interior street in Lomas Laguna is a woman's name: Andrea, Eva, Rosa, Louisa, Lupita, Patricia, Yolanda, Amalia and Carmel, reached from Ramona Street. Nine names, no exceptions. The houses went up between 1987 and 1993 with a middle year of 1989 and are among the newer detached stock in the city, running to about 2,055 square feet and four bedrooms on compact lots of roughly a tenth of an acre. The city files the community in its Alicia Creek area and records it as ungated.
