The Gabrieleno Indians were the original inhabitants. The Spanish government controlled the area until Mexico became independent in 1821. Abel Stearns, an American, purchased a large amount of land in the area and later sold the property to Robinson Trust. The community was incorporated as Dairy City in 1956 as an attempt by dairy farmers to preserve the area's dairies. However, after World War II ended the valuable land was bought by housing developers. By the 1970's all the dairies were gone. The citizens renamed the city Cypress after the Cypress Elementary School.
