Aprašymas

A buffalo ranch, banana stand wars, and the world's largest surfboard.

Since its founding in 1889, Orange County has captured the world's attention with its iconic attractions, stunning beaches, and vibrant communities. Dig a little deeper, and you'll find a treasure trove of hidden gems. From lion safaris and an alligator farm to roaming buffalo, the theme parks of Orange County once offered a wide variety of thrills before fading into obscurity. The county is also the site of one of the most infamous UFO sightings in history, documented by Rex Heflin's Polaroid camera in 1965. A plethora of famous rock stars, athletes, and actors have left their mark, though many of their local haunts have long since disappeared. Social justice movements and dramatic showdowns are woven into the tapestry of the county's history alongside tales of aviation, agriculture, and the innovative businesses that took root here.
