Highland California Historic District
Generally bound by Nona Avenue to the north, Main Street to the south, Orange Street to the west and Church Avenue to the east, the Highland Historic District contains an interesting blend of early 1900s architecture, including Craftsman Bungalows, Victorian-influenced designs, Gothic Revival and early commercial styles. Covering 290 acres and with 99 contributing buildings, the area is recognized in the National Register of Historic Places.
In connection with an environmental report in 1990 on the extension of the Cross-town Freeway this area was designated an historic district in the National Register of Historic Sites (01000333 NRIS), depicting the old-town area of Highland’s townsite as fine example of an early citrus town in Southern California. Eighty-one homes, 20 commercial buildings, churches, and community halls are in this original historical township area.
