Ramon Peralta Adobe
This adobe is the only such structure from the era of the Spanish and Mexico land grants still surviving in the Santa Ana Canyon area. Built in 1871 at what was then known as the town of Peralta, the fledgling community consisted of nine such adobes, a combination saloon and pottery shop, and a school. In 1920, the Peralta Adobe was converted into a roadside restaurant and gas station, and, for the next four decades, catered to the increasing motor traffic between Riverside and Orange County on the newly paved Santa Ana Canyon Road. The County acquired the property in 1977 and had the structure restored as a historic site. The Peralta Adobe is located at the corner of Fairmont Avenue and Santa Ana Canyon Road in Anaheim Hills.
