The story of the original City of Stanton starts early in 1911, when the City of Anaheim quietly obtained an option on the J.M. Gilbert Ranch southwest of town along Cerritos Avenue. Anaheim was looking for a location for what was politely known as a “sewer farm” back in those days – an open air spreading ground for the city’s sewage.
In early 1987, the city shed its longtime motto, "Crossroads to Vacationland," because it implied that tourists merely drove through Stanton to reach Disneyland, Knott's Berry Farm and the beaches.
