Orange County Information

Orange County, California, has the fifth largest population of any country in the United States with 3,056,865 people in 2005. Orange County is arguably the most well known county in the country. This is due in large part to its proximity to Hollywood (Los Angeles County borders Orange County to the northwest), as at least one feature film and one TV program bear its name (or the common shorthand for the county - "The O.C."). Many actors and actresses call Orange County home due to the relatively quick commute to Los Angeles, and the county has a reputation (spawned in part by the referenced television program) of being wealthy. The per capita income in Orange County is $25, 826. This compares to $20,683 in Los Angeles County, $34,556 in San Francisco County, and $22,926 in San Diego County.

One of Orange County's longest-standing and most famous attractions is Disneyland, located in Anaheim. Opened in 1955, Disneyland draws fun-loving people from around the globe to Orange County, and when they arrive they realize the area has so much more to offer than a nifty pair of mouse ears.

Orange County is the site of some of the most beautiful beaches in the United States, and not only are they aesthetically pleasing, they have some of the best waves in the world. Huntington Beach, located in northwestern Orange County, goes by the nickname "Surf City, U.S.A." and holds numerous surfing competitions on its beaches. Another celebrated spot in Orange County is the Mission San Juan Capistrano in the city of the same name in southern Orange County, where the swallows famously return every March 19th.

Orange County provides residents and visitors alike with easy access to the exciting opportunities in Los Angeles while allowing an escape from the hustle and bustle of the big city. They soon come to find out that all they really need is at their fingertips, in Orange County.
