Janss Corporation[edit]
Nearly a century later, (1907), Jacob Stern, a Fullerton resident and owner of portions of the former Yorba lands, sold a large area to the Janss Corporation. The Janss Corporation subdivided this property and named the new town "Yorba Linda". "Yorba" after the early land grant family and "Linda" meaning pretty in Spanish. The Janss Corporation began selling its Yorba Linda subdivisions emphasizing its agricultural potential and offering parcels of land for $150 an acre. ++++++++++ The land eventually passed on to other family members, and Porfirio Yorba sold it in 1907. After changing hands another three times, the Yorba land turned over to the Janss Investment Co. of Los Angeles, which completed plans for development in 1909. The original town was smaller than today; much of the eastern portion of Yorba Linda has been annexed through the years.
The Janss Co. developed Yorba Linda as a family community. Indeed, every property deed contained a condition prohibiting owners from selling alcoholic beverages on the property. If they did, the land would revert to the Janss Co. That rule remained until a 1933 US constitutional amendment repealed Prohibition. +++++ The land eventually passed on to other family members, and Porfirio Yorba sold it in 1907.

Janss[edit]
Owensmouth was then known as the “baby” town of San Fernando Valley in 1912. This was mainly because of its booming population and the relatively recent founding of the town. Canoga Park’s developers then used the image of a baby-delivering stork in their promotional materials. They also presented The Stork Plaque, symbolizing the birth of Owensmouth, to prospective buyers on the opening day of land sales in the new town. On March 30, 1912, the town was founded by the major developer, Janss Corporations. Eventually the town was incorporated to the city of Los Angeles. This was mainly because the town’s water supply had been severely compromised when Owensmouth Water Tower was lost due to fire. The Town was annexed by Los Angeles on February 26, 1917.

In March of 1912, with the founding of the farming community of Owensmouth, this territory became part of the West Valley's land boom. Two railroads came through the community and General H.G. Otis and M.H. Sherman joined the janss Investment Company backers to develop the area.
