First there was Mission San Juan Capistrano, with the first vineyard and winery in what is now California. Then there was the Mother Colony in the Santa Ana Valley, becoming a major location for California’s first commercial winery. Present day Orange County was the epicenter and preeminent producer of grapes and then came Anaheim’s disease. Learn all about the beginnings of Orange County’s agricultural legacy before the arrival of, you guessed it, oranges, and where it is today.

Visit Orange County's Five Piers with OC History Hunters, John Moorlach. The piers along Orange County's 42 miles of coastline were major contributors to its growth. With the need to transport goods by boat to Anaheim Landing and the McFadden Wharf, to the implementation of the Pacific Electric's Red Line to its southern terminus at the Balboa Pavilion, the coastal communities blossomed to what they are today. From Seal Beach to San Clemente, everyone loves to visit the piers for an outing, for fishing, for watching surfers, for restaurants and to see California's famous West Coast sunsets. Join us for a day trip along Pacific Coast Highway to see the jewels on the shore.
