Orange CountyAn expansive suburb conveniently located midway between Los Angeles and San Diego in beautiful Southern California. In the early days, its ideal climate made it a perfect location, until the 1950s, for cultivating orange groves. After Disneyland, the most popular destination attraction in California, was built, the pace and scope of Orange County changed tremendously.Today’s Orange County is a bustling metropolitan area offering spectacular beaches, parks, and mountainous regions. Major attractions include Disneyland, Knott's Berry Farm, the Crystal Cathedral, and the Richard Nixon Library and Museum. Known as the famed “California Riviera,” southern Orange County features upscale homes, beautiful beaches, and magnificent weather conditions all year round. |
