Placentia is a city in northern Orange County, California. The population was 50,533 at the 2010 census, up from 46,488 at the 2000 census. This includes the community of Atwood, which is included in the city of Placentia, and is located in its southernmost quadrant.

Primarily known as a bedroom community, Placentia is known for its quiet neighborhoods and strong public safety. In the southwest, or downtown area, is the Placita-Santa Fe District, which boasts some of the best Mexican restaurants in Orange County. People come from all parts of Orange County to dine in the popular downtown area.

Currently, Placentia has a $20,000,000 metrolink project scheduled to start in the downtown area in 2013. This project is in conjunction with the Orange County Transit Authority (OCTA), and will assist in the continued revitalization of the area, which is also scheduled for the building of more transit oriented housing to complement the train station, mixed use, retail and entertainment. All designed to enhance Placentia's unique presence in Orange County.

Placentia is also working with the OCTA on the 'OC Bridges' project. The project, combined with the city of Fullerton, provides approximately $580,000,000 in funding to build underpasses and/or overpasses at the major north-south roadways in the two cities. The roadways are Lakeview, Ave., Rose/Tustin, Orangethorpe Ave., Kraemer Blvd. , Placentia Ave., State College Blvd. and Raymond Ave. The project currently has Placentia Ave. underway, with all crossings to be completed by 2017.

This rusty, little pumpjack (a National unit?) is located in a residential area of Placentia, California in the Richfield oilfield. This oil well ("Yarnell 26") is on the same street as the 'basketball court' wells posted in another video.

"Aha 7" oil well located in a Placentia, California neighborhood. This small pumpjack can barely be seen above the vine-covered wall surrounding it. The plate on the beam (which has been painted over) reads "Bethlehem."

These two Mark II units look a little worse for wear, but if you could get a closer look you'd see orange paint on the horseheads and a faint, round "76" marking as well (possibly because Union Oil of California was the original operator?). These wells are in the "Morse" lease of the Richfield oilfield, and are located next to a supermarket and a preschool.
