History[edit]

In 1985, the Estrella property, a federal land reserve, was released to private ownership by the government. In 1985, Charles Keating of the American Continental Corporation purchased the land to create a master-planned community. In 1986, construction began on the North and South lakes, which total 72 acres combined, and in 1988 the Estrella Master-Planned Community held its official grand opening.
