The city of Orange is named after its most successful crop, discovered in 1873 after much trial and error by the local farming community. Only seven short years later, the town’s tourist boom began with the construction of their first railroad depot.
Competitive fares between rival rail companies attracted settlers and visitors to Orange, and over the passing years the area became known less for its citrus fruit and more popular for its proximity to major Southern California attractions.
With a population of less than 150,000, Orange proudly calls itself “a major city with small-town ambiance.” Seniors who choose assisted living in Orange will find both modernization and nostalgia in a city that has chosen to embrace its history and preserve its Old Towne structures.
