Santa Ana, CA—Posh Little Coastal City!

Santa Ana, California is named after a saint. It’s blown by Santa Ana winds, people cruise through the Santa Ana freeway, and not far from it are the Santa Ana mountains. The presence of divine nomenclature must have blessed this city because it is declared as the fourth safest city in the United States. Its economy is not bad either. No wonder a lot of people decide to live here for good because Santa Ana also happens to be one of the most populated cities in the US as well.

History

If the name of the city seems to have a Spanish ring to it, it’s because the area was first discovered by a Spanish explorer. Don Gaspar de Partola traveled to Santa Ana on July 26, 1769—when it was still inhabited by the Native Americans called the Tongva and Luiseno and the only visible sights were mustards. Partola was sent by his king, King Carlos, to find lands to colonize before other colonialists could get there. He named the area after Saint Anne or Santa Ana who was said to be the grandmother of Jesus Christ. Later, a Spanish soldier Jose Antonio Yorba was given a grant to build a ranch in what was mostly a large chunk of Orange County, including Santa Ana.

Americans went to this area after the Mexican-American War in 1848. The Yorba family later sold the land to Jose Antonio Andres Sepulveda, a descendant of a prominent Spanish-Mexican family and the early settlers of Southern California, in 1854. Sepulveda led a very extravagant lifestyle that led to his bankruptcy. The land was sold to James Irvine, Llewellyn Bixby, and Thomas Flint. William Spurgeon founded the City of Santa Ana and was its first mayor. In 1889, this land became the county seat of Orange County.

In 1901, the Old Orange County Courthouse was built. This heralded the political and economic force that was Santa Ana.

In 1905, Santa Ana was part of an extensive railway system. In 1935, Firestone Boulevard was opened for car drivers. It would later be renamed as the Santa Ana Freeway.

World War II is quite responsible for the population growth of the city. The soldiers who trained here stayed after the war. There were legions since Santa Ana Air Base was an official training center.

By the 50s, a mall already existed, along with other department stores. In the 80s, the downtown area was revitalized by the construction and the reconstruction of cultural sites including the Santa Ana Artists Village and the reopening of Yost Theatre, a historic movie house that turned into a live performance venue.
