 | | Santa Ana, CA Originally a valley site chosen in the 1760s for its mild weather, its readily available water, and its suitability for ranching and farming, Santa Ana quickly became populated, citified, and influential. |
 | | By 1889, when Orange County was carved out of the southern portion of Los Angeles County, Santa Ana was named county seat. |
 | | Home to a number of theatrical companies, art galleries, and museums, Santa Ana's thriving downtown business district comes alive on the first Saturday of each month with an elaborate open house in which artists, actors, and musicians perform for the public at the Artists Village (Second Street at Broadway). |
