The Tongva are the Indigenous people of the Stanton area. The villages of Hutukunga and Puvunga were the nearest villages to the present-day site of Stanton.On November 4, 1905, the Los Angeles Interurban Railway started service on the Santa Ana Line. It ran along an almost perfectly straight line between Watts and Santa Ana.


Access to transportation allowed the population of the rural area to grow. This area is now Stanton and West Anaheim. Stanton was named for Philip A. Stanton, a Republican assemblyman for Los Angeles from 1903 to 1909.In 1908, the privately owned Pacific Electric Railway leased the Santa Ana Line and took over the service, extending its regional light-rail system.


By 1928, the impressive thousand-mile system allowed the residents to conveniently travel throughout Los Angeles and Orange Counties. See 1928 Map. Passenger service to Santa Ana was discontinued in 1950, shortly after the railway was taken over by the Metropolitan Transportation Agency. Today, the easement still is owned by the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA).


It crosses the intersections of Beach Boulevard/Pacific Street and Cerritos Avenue/Western Avenue. The first City of Stanton was incorporated in 1911 and was then the largest city in Orange County by area. The main motivation for incorporation was the City of Anaheim's plan to build a "sewage farm" to the west of their city.


Former Speaker of the California State Assembly Phillip Ackley Stanton assisted in the incorporation and the city was named Stanton in his honor. In 1924, the residents voted to dis-incorporate to avoid the cost of building roads in the city. In the early 1950s, the area had experienced a post-war population boom and the neighboring cities rapidly annexed land.


In May 1956, the citizens responded by re-incorporating into today's City of Stanton.
