Orange

Orange lies in the Santa Ana River basin, where central Orange County’s broad urban plain rises toward the Santa Ana Mountains to the east. The city developed during Southern California’s citrus era and was incorporated in 1888, a past recalled in its name and streets arranged around the Plaza. Old Towne Orange, centered on that plaza, is a National Register of Historic Places district with commercial buildings and homes dating from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Chapman University, founded in 1861 and based in Orange since 1954, brings a collegiate presence close to the historic core.
