"The RHCA was established in 1936 by developer A.E. Hanson and the Palos Verdes Corporation to develop the community and to carry out their vision of a private, gated community made up of little ranches and family homes. Today, the Association's primary purpose is to maintain the roads and other common areas of the community, uphold the architectural standards of the community, operate the gates and assist the members of the Board, committees and members of the community in upholding and maintaining the community's charm and appeal."
In 2026 the Association celebrated its 90 anniversary. As part of the anniversary, community members participated in a public scanning event held at the Peninsula Center Library to share images of the city and life in Rolling Hills in commemoration of the anniversary.
