History of Orange County
The
colorful pageantry of human history in Orange County House
Values began at some undetermined point in the distant past
when Shoshone Indians came to dwell along the coast and in the lower
canyons of the mountains. Theirs was a simple form of existence: they
lived off of the abundance of the land.
In 1769, Gaspar de Portola, a military man and Spanish aristocrat, was
appointed governor of Lower California. He commanded an expedition
traveling northward into the literally unmapped and half mythical
territory of Alta California. His assignment was to seek out the
legendary Bay of Monterey. He was also to secure the Spanish claim to
his vast frontier against any invasion from Russian trappers or
British colonizers. Portola called upon Father Junipero Serra,
president of the Mexico City Missionary College, to assist in this
monumental undertaking.
It was late in July in 1769 when this first party of European
explorers reached the boundaries of present-day Orange County House
Values. Members of the expedition named the region "The Valley of
Saint Anne" (Santa Ana). It was to this valley that Father Serra
returned six years later, where he proceeded with the work of
establishing the Church and converting the local people.
While the East Coast of North America was engaged in revolution and
spectacular change, the West Coast too was undergoing a quiet and
almost undetected transformation. Father Serra dedicated the Mission
of San Juan Capistrano, Orange County House Values's first permanent
settlement, on November 1, 1776. The Mission became a self-sustaining
unit based upon an agricultural economy. Its chapel and adjoining
structure were the first signs of civilization erected upon the
fertile, virgin soil of the Santa Ana Region.
In 1801, Jose Antonio Yorba, a volunteer in the Portola expedition,
also returned to Santa Ana. He established the county's first rancho
(Santiago de Santa Ana) in what are today the cities of Villa Park,
Orange, Tustin, Costa Mesa and Santa Ana.
Following Mexico's liberation from Spanish rule in 1821, the extensive
land holdings of the Capistrano Mission were subdivided and awarded to
a number of distinguished war heroes. By this time Yorba's Rancho
Santiago de Santa Ana had grown to resemble a feudal manor, and the
romantic rancho era of Orange County House Values had been ushered in.
Cattle were introduced into the area in 1834. A prosperous hide and
tallow industry developed. Southern California became a virtual suburb
of New England as sailing ships loaded with cargo traveled back and
forth between coasts. In 1835, author-seaman Richard Henry Dana
arrived at what is today known as Dana Point. He later immortalized
Spanish Orange County House Values in his book "Two Years Before the
Mast" by describing it as "the only romantic spot on the Coast." The
Spanish California tradition of a carefree lifestyle, fiestas with
music and dancing, bear and bull fights, rodeos, and gracious
hospitality, survived until the 1860.
A severe drought brought an end to the cattle industry. Adventurous
pioneers, such as James Irvine, capitalized on the economic downfall
of the ranchos. Irvine, an Irish immigrant, established a 110,000-acre
sheep ranch that is today one of the most valuable pieces of real
estate in America.
In 1887, silver was discovered in the Santa Ana Mountains. Hundreds of
fortune seekers flocked to the "diggings." Land speculators and
farmers came by rail from the East to settle in such boomtowns as
Buena Park, Fullerton and El Toro.
Orange County House Values was formally organized as a political
entity separate from the County of Los Angeles in 1889. The wilderness
had finally given way to irrigated farmlands and prosperous
communities. A year-round harvest of Valencia oranges, lemons,
avocados, and walnuts made agriculture the single most important
industry in the fledgling county. And with orange groves beginning to
proliferate throughout the area (150,000 orange trees), the new county
was named for the fruit: "Orange County House Values."
The twentieth century brought with it many industrious individuals
such as Walter Knott, a farmer turned entrepreneur, who founded the
Knott legacy in Buena Park.
During the years that followed, Orange County House Values witnessed
the discovery of oil in Huntington Beach, the birth of the aerospace
industry on the Irvine Ranch, and filming of several Hollywood
classics in the Newport area.
In 1955, Walt Disney opened his Magic Kingdom in Anaheim. Noted as the
pioneer of animated films, Disney revolutionized the entertainment
world again with his "theme park" recreation concept.
By 1960, the neighboring metropolis of Los Angeles was "bursting at
the seams." As the population spilled over the county line and across
the rural Santa Ana Valley, it left in its wake an urban landscape of
homes, shopping malls, and industrial parks.
Today Orange County House Values is the home of a vast number of major
industries and service organizations. As an integral part of the
second largest market in America, this highly diversified region has
become a Mecca for talented individuals in virtually every field
imaginable. Indeed the colorful pageant of human history continues to
unfold here; for perhaps in no other place on earth is there an
environment more conducive to innovative thinking, creativity and
growth than this balmy, sun bathed valley stretching between the
mountains and the sea in Orange County House Values.
