The city is famous for being home to Rick Warren´s megachurch, Saddleback Church, which is the eighth-largest church in the United States. The city, which incorporated in 1991, took its name from two man-made lakes as well as a series of Eucalyptus groves in the area. Area property owner Dwight Whiting planted 400 acres of Eucalyptus groves in the 1900s with harvesting them for lumber in mind. In the late 1960s, the Occidental Petroleum company developed a residential community throughout the groves.
