Orange County is a county in the state of California in the US. At the 2010 census, the population was 3,010,232 making it the third most populous state in California, the sixth most populous in the United States, and denser than twenty-one US states. The county seat is Santa Ana. This is the second densest district in the state, behind San Francisco County. The four largest cities in the country, Anaheim, Santa Ana, Irvine, and Huntington Beach, each have a population of over 200,000. Several Orange County cities are on the Pacific coast, including Huntington Beach, Newport Beach, Laguna Beach, Dana Point, and San Clemente.

Orange County is included in Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, Metropolitan Area of â€‹â€‹CA. Thirty-four municipalities are located in this area; the latest is Aliso Viejo, which was founded in 2001. Anaheim was the first city, founded in 1870, when the area was still part of neighboring Los Angeles. While most population centers in the United States tend to be identified by large cities with large central business districts, there is no single main CBD or dominant urban centers in Orange County. Santa Ana, Costa Mesa, and Irvine all have smaller CBDs, and other older historic cities such as Anaheim, Fullerton, Huntington Beach and Orange have traditional American city centers without tall buildings. The north and central parts of the county are very urban and quite dense, despite the prevalence of single-family homes as dominant land use. The southern part of the county is more suburban, with less density and limited urbanization. There are several city-style developments such as the Irvine Business Center, Newport Center, and South Coast Metro.

The district is known for tourism with attractions such as Disneyland, Knott's Berry Farm, and several popular beaches along more than 40 miles (64 km) of coastline. He is also known for his political conservatism - an academic study in 2005 mentions three Orange County cities as one of the 25 most conservative cities in America, making it one of two districts in the United States containing more than one such city. (Maricopa County, Arizona also has three cities on the list.) Orange County is part of the Tech Coast.

Histori

Members Tongva, JuaneÃƒÆ' Ã‚ Â± o, and LuiseÃƒÆ' Ã‚ Â± o Native American groups long inhabited the area. After the expedition of 1769 Gaspar de PortolÃƒÆ', a Spanish expedition led by Junipero Serra named the Valle de Santa Ana area (the Saint Anne Valley). On November 1, 1776, Mission San Juan Capistrano became the first permanent European settlement in the area. Among those who came with PortolÃƒÆ'Ã‚Â¡ were JosÃƒÆ'Ã‚ Â© Manuel Nieto and JosÃƒÆ'Ã‚ Â© Antonio Yorba. Both men were given land grants - Rancho Los Nietos and Rancho Santiago de Santa Ana, respectively. Nieto's heirs were given land in 1834. Nieto's farm is known as Rancho Los Alamitos, Rancho Las Bolsas, and Rancho Los Coyote. Yorba heirs Bernardo Yorba and Teodosio Yorba were also awarded Rancho CaÃƒÆ' Ã‚ Â± ÃƒÆ'Ã‚Â³n de Santa Ana (Santa Ana Canyon Ranch) and Rancho Lomas de Santiago, respectively. Another Ranchos in Orange County was awarded by the Mexican government during the Mexican period in Alta California.

The severe droughts of the 1860s destroyed the prevailing industries, farms, and much of the land belonging to Richard O'Neill, Sr., James Irvine, and other land kings. In 1887, silver was found in the Santa Ana Mountains, attracting settlers through Santa Fe and South Pacific trains.

This growth led to the California legislature to divide Los Angeles County and create Orange County as a separate political entity on March 11, 1889. The county is said to have been named for citrus fruits in an attempt to promote immigration by suggesting a semi-tropical paradise where everything can grow.

Other citrus plants, avocados, and oil extraction are also important for the early economy. Orange County benefited from the completion of the Pacific Railway 4 July 1904, a trolley connecting Los Angeles with Santa Ana and Newport Beach. That link makes Orange County an easily accessible weekend getaway for early Hollywood celebrities. It was deemed so important that the Pacific City changed its name to Huntington Beach in honor of Henry E. Huntington, president of Pacific Electric and Collis Huntington's nephew. Transportation is improving with the completion of the State Route and Route 101 US (now mostly Interstate 5) in the 1920s.

The farm, as involving boysenberries made famous by the original Buena Park Walter Knott, began to decline after World War II. However, the prosperity of the region has soared over the years. The completion of Interstate 5 in 1954 helped make Orange County a bedroom community for many people who moved to Southern California to work in aerospace and manufacturing. Orange County received further encouragement in 1955 with the opening of Disneyland.

In 1969, the original Orange County-born Yorba Linda Richard Nixon became the 37th President of the United States.

In the 1980s, Orange County had become the second most populous area in California because it had a population of two million dollars for the first time.

In 1994, the investment fund crisis led to a criminal prosecution against the treasurer of Robert Citron. The district lost at least $ 1.5 billion through high-risk investments in bonds. The loss was blamed on derivatives by some media reports. On December 6, 1994, the County of Orange announced Chapter 9 bankruptcy, from which it appeared on June 12, 1996. Orange County's bankruptcy was at the time of the largest city bankruptcy in US history.

In recent years, land-use conflicts have emerged between areas established in the northern and less developed regions of the south. These conflicts have considered issues such as the construction of new toll roads and the repurposition of disabled air bases. El Toro Marine Corps Air Station was appointed by voter size in 1994 to be developed into an international airport to complement the existing John Wayne Airport. But subsequent voter initiatives and court action have caused airport plans to be permanently shelved. Instead, it becomes Orange County's Great Park.

Geography

According to the US Census Bureau, the county has a total area of â€‹â€‹948 square miles (2,460 km ²), of which 791 square miles (2,050 km ²) are land and 157 square miles (410 km ²) (16.6%) is water. This is the smallest area in Southern California. The average annual temperature is about 68 Ã‚ Â° F (20 Ã‚ Â° C).

Orange County borders southwest by the Pacific Ocean, north by Los Angeles County, northeast by San Bernardino County and Riverside County, and to the southeast by San Diego County.

The northwestern part of the county lies on the coastal plains of the Los Angeles Basin, while the southeast end rises to the foothills of the Santa Ana Mountains. Most of the inhabitants of Orange County are in one of two shallow coastal valleys located in river valleys, Santa Ana Valley and Saddleback Valley. The Santa Ana Mountains are located on the eastern border of the area and the Cleveland National Forest. The highest point is Santiago Peak (5,689 feet (1,734 m)), about 20 miles (32 km) east of Santa Ana. The peaks of Santiago and the nearby Modjeska Peak, just 200 feet (60 m) shorter, form a ridge known as Saddleback, visible from almost everywhere in this area. Peralta Hills stretch west from the Santa Ana Mountains through the Anaheim Hills, Orange community, and end up in Olive. Loma Ridge is another outstanding feature, running parallel to the Santa Ana Mountains through the central part of the county, separated from the higher mountains to the east by Santiago Canyon.

The Santa Ana River is the main waterway of the district, flowing through the middle of the county from the northeast to the southwest. Its main tributary to the south and east is Santiago Creek. Other waterways in the area include Aliso Creek, San Juan Creek, and Horsethief Creek. In the North, the San Gabriel River also crosses into Orange County and exits to the Pacific on the Los Angeles-Orange County line between the cities of Long Beach and Seal Beach. Laguna Beach is home to the only natural lake in this area, Laguna Lakes, which is formed by rising water upward against the underground disturbance.

Residents sometimes divide the area to northern Orange County and Orange County south. As a result, this is the division of the county into the northwest and southeast parts following the natural diagonal orientation along the coast. This is more of a cultural and demographic difference perpetuated by the popular television show The OC, The Real Housewives of Orange County and Laguna Beach. The difference exists between the older areas closer to Los Angeles and the more affluent and recently developed region to the south. The transition between older and newer development may be thought to be roughly parallel to State Route 55, also known as the Costa Mesa Freeway. This transition is emphasized by large sidewalks flanking from the less developed areas occupied until recent years by agricultural and military airfields.

While there is a topographic transition northeast to southwest of the highlands to the lower coastal bands, there is no formal geographical division between North and South. Straight straight with the gradient, the Santa Ana River roughly divides the county into the northwest and southeast sectors. Each sector consists of 40 to 60 percent of each region by area. There are significant political, demographic, economic and cultural differences between the North and South Orange Regions, with the North Orange Region having larger colored people population, younger population, larger percentage of tenants, lower intermediate income, higher unemployment, and greater proportion of voters registered as Democrats versus as Republican. However, certain areas of the North and South Orange Regions vary from this general trend.

VA loan limit

Retirement scandal

On July 12, 2010, it was revealed that former Sheriff Mike Carona received over $ 215,000 in retirement checks in 2009, despite his criminal convictions. The 2005 state law rejects public pensions for public officials convicted of misconduct at the office, however, the law applies only to benefits earned after December 2005. Carona qualifies for his retirement at the age of 50, and also entitled, by law, for medical and dental benefits. It has been noted that the city's pension system is facing a massive $ 3.7 billion shortfall, and Carona is one of about 400 retired Orange County state employees who received more than $ 100,000 in benefits in 2009. Also on the list those who receive extra large. retirement examination is a former collector of tax treasurers Robert Citron, whose investments, made in consultation with paranormal and astrologers, caused Orange County to go bust in 1994.

Citron, a Democrat, channeled billions of dollars publicly into questionable investments, and in the beginning the results were high and cities, schools and special districts borrowed millions to join in investments. However, the strategy backfired, and Citron's investment pool lost $ 1.64 billion. Nearly $ 200 million had to be cut from the local budget and more than 1,000 jobs were cut. County was forced to borrow $ 1 billion.

The California Foundation for Fiscal Responsibility filed a lawsuit against the pension system for a list. The agency has claimed that the retired privacy will be compromised by the release. A judge approved the release and the document was released at the end of June 2010. The release of the document has reopened the debate about retirement plans for retired public safety workers approved in 2001 when Carona was a sheriff.

Called "3 percent at 50," it allows deputies to retire at age 50 with 3 percent of their highest year salary for each year of service. Before being approved and applied retroactively, employees receive 2 percent. "Right after September 11," said Orange County Supervisor John Moorlach. "All of a sudden, the public security people became higher in status as gods, the Supervisory Board was stumbling to make a move." He called it "one of the biggest money shifts from the private sector to the public sector." Moorlach, who was not on board when the plan was approved, led the struggle to uproot its benefits. The lawsuit, which says that the benefits had to be made before voters, was rejected at Los Angeles County Superior Court in 2009 and is now in the process of appealing. Carona opposed the lawsuit when it was filed, equating its influence with a "nuclear bomb" for the deputies.

Politics

Orange County has long been known as a Republican camp and consistently sends Republican representatives to state and federal legislatures. The majority republic of Orange County helped cast California's election vote for Republican presidential candidate Richard Nixon (1960, 1968 and 1972), Gerald Ford (1976), Ronald Reagan (1980 and 1984) and George H. W. Bush (1988). As a measure of how the Republic of Orange County has historically been, it is one of only five counties in the state that chose Barry Goldwater in 1964.

Republican Margin began to narrow in the 1990s and 2000s when the country tended to Democrats, and by 2016, Hillary Clinton won the county by a majority. This is the first time Orange County has voted for a Democratic presidential nominee since Franklin D. Roosevelt's landslide re-election in 1936 for a second term.

Bending the Orange County Republic no less at the state level. Prior to the implementation of the "double-top" blanket primary system in 2012, only four Democrats brought this county into state-run races in half a century - Jerry Brown in the 1978 election governor's campaign, March Fong Eu to Secretary of State, Kenneth Cory for State Controller in 1978 and Kathleen Connell for Controllers in 1998.

The 73rd seat of the Assembly is widely regarded as the Republic's most secure assembly chair and is currently held by Bill Brough. The top Republican elected Republican in California, Council Deputy Chairman Diane Harkey, is also a resident of Orange County.

Although Democrats have been making inroads in the northern end of the county since the mid-1980s, Orange County politics is still dominated by Republicans. Four of the seven US representatives (and all except those representing four district-centered districts), three of the five State Senators, and five of the seven members of the State Assembly are Republicans. The five members of the Regional Supervisory Board are Republicans as well, as are the seven elected officials in the regions.

Special Selection

In the United States House of Representatives, Orange County is divided into seven congressional districts:

California's 38th congress district, represented by Democrat Linda SÃƒÆ'Ã‚Â¡nchez,
The 39th congressional district in California, represented by Republican Ed Royce,
California's 45th congress district, represented by Republic of Mimi Walters,
California's 46th congress district, represented by Democrat Lou Correa,
The 47th congressional district of California, represented by Democrat Alan Lowenthal,
The 48th congressional district in California, represented by Republican Dana Rohrabacher, and
California's 49th congress district, represented by Republic of Darrell Issa.

The 39th, 45th, 46th and 48th districts are all based in Orange County. The 38th and 47th Centers have their population centers in Los Angeles County, while the 49th is primarily a San Diego-based district.

In the State Senate of California, Orange County is divided between 5 districts:

The 29th Senate district, represented by Republic Ling Ling Chang,
The 32th Senate district, seat currently empty,
The 34th Senate district, represented by the Republic of Janet Nguyen,
The 36th Senate district, represented by Republican Patricia Bates, and
The 37th Senate district, represented by Republican John Moorlach.

According to the Orange County Registrar of Voters, as of May 21, 2012, Orange County has 1,612,145 registered voters. Of these, 42.17% (679,877) registered Republicans, and 31.41% (506,389) registered Democrats. An additional 22.01% (354,820) refused to declare a political party.

Orange County has produced renowned Republicans such as President Richard Nixon (born in Yorba Linda and living in Fullerton and San Clemente), US Senator John F. Seymour (formerly Mayor of Anaheim), and US Senator Thomas Kuchel (from Anaheim). Former Congressman Christopher Cox (of Newport Beach), White House advisor to President Ronald Reagan, also former chairman of the US Securities and Exchange Commission. Orange County is also home to former Republican Congressman John G. Schmitz, a 1972 presidential candidate from the highly conservative American Independent Party and Mary Kay Letourneau's father. In 1996, Curt Pringle (later Mayor of Anaheim) became the first elected California State Parliament Chairman in decades.

While the growth of Hispanic and Asian populations in the country in recent decades has significantly affected Orange County culture, its conservative reputation remains intact. The pattern of registration of the Hispanic, Asian and other ethnic minority voters in the regions tends to reflect the demographics around them, with the majority of Republicans being generated in all parts of the country center. When Loretta Sanchez, a Blue Dog Democrat, defeated Republican veteran Bob Dornan in the 1996 congress contest, he continued the Democratic representation trends of the district that had been plagued by Dornan's outburst in 1984 from former Congressman Jerry Patterson. Until 1992, Sanchez himself was a moderate Republican, and he was seen as somewhat more moderate than any other Democrat from Southern California.

Republicans have responded to the inclusion of non-white immigrants by making more explicit efforts to court Hispanic and Asian voices. In 2004, George W. Bush captured 60% of the vote in the county, up from 56% in 2000, despite the Democratic higher state elections compared to the 2000 election. Although Barbara Boxer wins the entire state , and fared better in Orange County than in 1998, Republican Bill Jones defeated him in the county, 51% to 43%. While 39% received by John Kerry was higher than Bill Clinton's percentage of victories in 1992 and 1996, the percentage of votes received by George W. Bush in 2004 (59.7% of the votes) was the highest that every presidential candidate has received since 1988, indicating the presence of GOP is still dominant in this area. In 2006, Senator Dianne Feinstein won 45% of the vote in the county, the highest margin of a Democrat in the Senate race in more than four decades, but Orange remains the only Coastal California region to elect Republican opponent Dick Mountjoy. In terms of voter registration, the Democratic Party has a number or majority of registrations only in the cities of Buena Park, Laguna Beach, Santa Ana and Stanton.

This area stands out in the Warrior Suburban book: The Origin of New American Rights by Lisa McGirr. He argues that the conservative political orientation of the 20th century owes much to its settlement by peasants from the Great Plains, who react violently to communist sympathies, civil rights movements and the 1960s turmoil near Los Angeles - across from "The Orange Curtain ".

In the 1970s and 1980s, Orange County was one of the leading Republican voting blocs of the Republic of California and the sub-cultures of the population to hold the values â€‹â€‹of "Central America" â€‹â€‹which emphasized the morality of capitalist religion as opposed to Western coastal liberalism that also existed.

Orange County has many Republican voters from culturally conservative Asian-American, Middle Eastern and Latin-immigrant groups. The large Vietnamese-American communities in Garden Grove and Westminster are predominantly Republican; Vietnamese Americans enroll more Republicans than those registered as Democrats by 55% to 22%. Republican Parliament member Van Tran was elected to become the first Vietnamese-American to serve in the state legislature and join Texan Hubert Vo as Vietnam's top-rated American election in the United States before the 2008 Joseph Cao election at the 2nd congress in Louisiana. district. In the 2007 special election for an empty area watchdog after Lou Correa's Democratic elections to the state senate, two Vietnam-American Republican candidates topped the list of 10 candidates, separated from each other by just seven votes, making the County of California's Board of Supervisors entirely Republican; Correa is the only Democrat who has served on the Board since 1987 and only the fifth since 1963.
