Modern Stanton can track its beginnings to one of the largest land grants made in California. Incorporated in 1956, Stanton is a small city within the illustrious Orange County borders. The county is known for its wealth and conservatism, though Stanton is neither of the two. A lower average of household wealth provides an affordable alternative within the county’s normally exclusive communities.
