Shaping Orange County explores the untold stories of America's sixth largest county, a sun-dappled paradise cooled by ocean breezes, defined by movies and television and transformed by decades of steady growth and economic prosperity. It is the place where Disneyland invented the international theme park industry, where disgraced former president Richard Nixon was born, lived and is buried, and where the always changing American Dream seems very real and very attainable.Once a part of America's old west, Orange County was the home of 19th century cattle drives and sheep-grazing, cowboy life-styles that all but vanished in the romantic 20th century era of oranges and oil. Over time, citrus groves and petroleum production faded into aerospace and electronics industries, then into 21st century high-tech enterprises, cutting-edge life science companies, medical device firms and low-paying service jobs. Residential real estate development, some of it posh and elegant, some of it now gritty and struggling, has been relentless.The sunny climate also attracted a few shady characters. A whiff of corruption is never far from great wealth or great success. Orange County has had more than its share of rogues and rascals, the dreamers and doers who created a new kind of place to live, work and raise a family.Shaping Orange County looks unsparingly into the dark corners of the county's colorful past, its quirky hidden history, and the county's remarkable successes.

Excerpt from An Outline History of Orange County Every work, from Sinbad the Sailor to a British Classic, has, or ought to have, an Introduction - establishing its propriety and necessity, and explaining in some good degree its nature and design, particular and general. It is a point about which there is a kind of joyous public expectation, necessary to gratify and indulge, dangerous to disappoint, lest the omission materially injure the work itself. Generally speaking, the world is not over friendly to any one in particular, and we may safely mark it down, in deep black lines, as hostile to and careless of our acquaintance. When we address it, therefore, for our own or the benefit of others, common courtesy would seem to demand that we speak to it in the kindest terms, pat it on the head as we would a vicious and untamed animal, tell who we are, what we want and are in quest of, and what favors we expect of it. The public, like a private gentleman, expects a letter of introduction, before it will make our acquaintance and regard us kindly. Indeed, you might as soon expect to see a man during a clear day without his shadow, or Don Quixotte appear publicly in the streets without being preceded by his Esquire Sancho, as to see a grave and learned work on Etymology, and the historical reasons for names, thrown carelessly upon the public notice without a well digested and befitting Introduction. - The omission would prove a careless disregard of popular favor, sentiment, and expectation. To this all important department, as it concerns the future welfare of our Paper, we now proceed; and when manipulated to our satisfaction, will adventure upon the more laborious and difficult task of executing the work itself. It is said that ivestigation begets a thirst for investigation, and that we are happily so constituted that labor makes labor more pleasant and agreeable. The truth of this principle we will endeavor to establish, or prove its antiquated fallacy, by a reasonable devotion of our time and labor. We have heard the sentiment advanced and advocated, that it requires more tact and mental effort to write an Introduction, than the work. Not knowing its truth by actual experience, we neither affirm nor deny it. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Since forming in 1889, Orange County, California has become famous all over the world for being home to such popular attractions as Disneyland, Knott’s Berry Farm, and some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. But there are also many other places that helped establish the county as not just a popular tourist destination, but also home to countless cultural landmarks that served the local communities for generations. Stretching across the 34 cities that comprise “The OC,” Lost Landmarks of Orange County brings back fabulous memories of music venues, restaurants, theaters, theme parks, attractions, and more. Everybody knows the aforementioned Disneyland and Knott’s Berry Farm, but Orange County was also home to Lion Country Safari, the California Alligator farm, the Buffalo Ranch, Japanese Deer Park, Movieland Wax Museum, the Orange County International Speedway, and many other large-scale attractions. Concert venues including the Golden Bear, Irvine Meadows Amphitheater, and the Cuckoo’s Nest, which all featured some of the biggest names in rock and roll and popular music. Tiki bars, airports, drive-in movie theaters, themed restaurants . . . these were the places where generations of OC natives and visitors from around the world created memories that would last a lifetime. Today, all of these locations are gone, but utilizing firsthand accounts, rare photos, artifacts, and other resources, Lost Landmarks of Orange County keeps the colorful memories of Orange County’s past alive.

One of the Top Urban Planning Books of 2022, Planetizen The full and fascinating guidebook that Orange County deserves. A People’s Guide to Orange County is an alternative tour guide that documents sites of oppression, resistance, struggle, and transformation in Orange County, California. Orange County is more than the well-known images on orange crate labels, the high-profile amusement parks of Disneyland and Knott’s Berry Farm, or the beaches. It is also a unique site of agricultural and suburban history, political conservatism in a liberal state, and more diversity and discordance than its pop-cultural images show. It is a space of important agricultural labor disputes, segregation and resistance to segregation, privatization and the struggle for public space, politicized religions, Cold War global migrations, vibrant youth cultures, and efforts for environmental justice. Memorably, Ronald Reagan called Orange County the place “where all the good Republicans go to die,” but it is also the place where many working-class immigrants have come to live and work in its agricultural, military-industrial, and tourist service economies. Orange County is the fifth-most populous county in America. If it were a city, it would be the nation’s third-largest city; if it were a state, its population would make it larger than twenty-one other states. It attracts 42 million tourists annually. Yet Orange County tends to be a chapter or two squeezed into guidebooks to Los Angeles or Disneyland. Mainstream guidebooks focus on Orange County’s amusement parks and wealthy coastal communities, with side trips to palatial shopping malls. These guides skip over Orange County’s most heterogeneous half—the inland space, where most of its oranges were grown alongside oil derricks that kept the orange groves heated. Existing guidebooks render invisible the diverse people who have labored there. A People’s Guide to Orange County questions who gets to claim Orange County’s image, exposing the extraordinary stories embedded in the ordinary landscape.
