Located in the middle of Orange County, the beautiful city of Orange covers 38 square miles of total area and houses around 138,640 residents. The city has a "Sphere of Influence" of about 55 square miles. Within this sphere of influence lies more than 18,500 acres of undeveloped land, which is presently owned by the Irvine Company. Los Angeles lies about 32 miles northwest of Orange.
The city of Orange was established during the year 1869, by two lawyers, Alfred Chapman and Andrew Glassell. They inherited 1285 acres of land from the Rancho Santiago de Santa Ana as legal fees rather than taking money. They first made a large, forty acre centre town location known as the Plaza and then started to lay out 10 acre farm lots surrounding it. Now, the Plaza continues to be the centre of the town and the symbol of the community. There are several buildings and houses in the area which have lasted the test of time, some of which are registered on the national registry of historic places. The city was officially incorporated on April 6, 1888.
The city elects a new mayor every two years, but has four council members who are elected to four year terms which are carried out every two years. The city council selects the City Manager, who is the city's administrative official.
