Aliso is a planned community in the Los Angeles/Orange County area, and is part of the Mission Viejo/Laguna Hills area. In the early 1800’s, after Mexico separated itself from Spain, many loyalists were given large grants of land in California. A 13,000-acre land grant was given to Don Juan Avila and this is where Laguna Hills is located today. The land changed hands a couple of times and on March 5, 1991, cityhood was realized. Later, in November 1995, the north Laguna Hills area was annexed and again the city was enlarged and on September 18, 2000 149 acres known as the Westside Annexation area was added to the city. There is also the 3,400-acre Aliso and Wood Canyons Wilderness Park located in Aliso (with 2,600 acres inside the community.) Other attractions include a golf club and resort, an ice palace and the Soka University of America. Aliso contains 16 local parks, which offer picnic areas, hiking and biking trails and other recreational opportunities. To reach the Aliso-Woods Canyon Recreational Area, take I-5 to the Alicia Parkway exit and drive toward the ocean for about four miles. The park is located approximately a quarter of a mile past the Aliso Creek Road.

Aliso Weather & Climate

California's climate varies significantly from one location to the next. Basically, it is semi-tropical along the southern coast with pleasant temperatures during the entire year. Mountain regions can be cooler, especially at night, than nearer the coast. Cool breezes from the Pacific Ocean help moderate the heat in summertime, and keeps temperatures very mild in winter. Summers are dry and the rainy season runs November through March and sometimes April. Low clouds or fog is common along the coast in summer, but it almost always burns off by noon and you can expect sunshine the rest of the day. The Santa Ana winds blow hot and dry out of the south in winter - often hard enough to close some highways.
