Orange, California. The area now known as Orange was originally inhabited by Native Americans. The first landholder in the area was Juan Pablo Grijalva. In 1801, he was given permission by the Spanish colonial government to ranch "the place of the Arroyo de Santiago." His land ran from the Santa Ana River and the foothills above Villa Park to the sea at Orange.

In 1873, the townspeople selected the name Orange because the name they were using, Richland, was refused due to their already being a town called Richland in the area around Sacramento. The town of Orange began as a farming community and the first noted crops were grains. Many farmers planted grape vines as well. Grapes were a major product until the 1886. The settlers also tried growing tropical fruits such as bananas, pineapples and guavas, but without much success. In 1873, the farmers began planting orange groves.

During the boom years, numerous stores, banks, restaurants, and shopping centers opened in Orange, particularly along Tustin Avenue. The city added a new library in 1961, a new Civic Center in 1963, and new Fire Department in 1969. The city continued to annex new areas and today covers almost 25 square miles with a population of more than 120,000.

Chapman University, the oldest university in Orange County, is located here, along with the rapidly-growing Santiago Canyon College. The charming downtown area, with its antique stores, galleries and restaurants, manage to draw visitors from miles around. The City of Orange continues to strive for a balance of attractive neighborhoods and strong businesses, while maintaining a sense of community and the small town values upon which the area was founded.
