About Orange
Area Information
Orange is a city in central Orange County, California, about 30 miles southeast of Los Angeles. Old Towne Orange, a one-square-mile historic district surrounding the city's original plaza, is the largest National Register of Historic Places district in California. There are neighborhoods featuring Victorian, Craftsman, Bungalow and Spanish architecture from the 1880s to the 1930s. Orange is also home to Chapman University, the oldest university in Orange County. In addition to its historic bonafides, Orange is known for its easy access to nearby cities. Commuters use four major freeways and the Metrolink rail system.

Anaheim is about 7 miles away, putting Disneyland, Angel Stadium (home ballpark to Major League Baseball's Los Angeles Angels) and the Honda Center (home to the National Hockey League's Anaheim Ducks) all within easy reach. Surfers and beach-goers appreciate that Newport Beach and Huntington Beach are less than 30 minutes away by car. Shopping enthusiasts can make the 13-mile trip to Costa Mesa to enjoy South Coast Plaza, the largest mall on the West Coast. Weekend getaways in San Diego, Palm Springs and Big Bear Lake are about 90 miles away.
