LAGUNA HILLS, Calif.—The City of Laguna Hills is declaring May 6 “Lewis F. Moulton Arrival Day” after the pioneer who traveled to Southern California in 1874 and became the founding father of Laguna Hills.
Last week, Mayor Dave Wheeler and the Laguna Hills City Council issued a proclamation dedicating May 6 to honor Moulton’s legacy in the city.
“Moulton represented a courageous and pioneering spirit,” Wheeler said in the proclamation. “It is in order to recognize the ongoing contributions of the Moulton Family to the Orange County community, Laguna Hills and beyond that originated from the arrival of Lewis F. Moulton in 1874 by proclaiming May 6 as Lewis F. Moulton Arrival Day.”
