County Highlights:

Orange County is bordered by the Pacific Ocean, and located about 1-hour drive south of Los Angeles and 2-hours drive north of San Diego. There are 34 incorporated cities located in the county, with the four largest cities being Anaheim, Santa Ana, Irvine, and Huntington Beach. The Pacific Ocean borders the coastal cities of Newport Beach, Laguna Beach, San Clemente, and Huntington Beach aka “Surf City U.S.A.” Residents and visitors can enjoy the beautiful beaches stretching along the 40 miles of coastline. Orange County does not have a defined urban center. It is mostly suburban except for the traditionally urban areas in the older cities of Anaheim, Fullerton, Huntington Beach, Orange, and Santa Ana. The county is also the home of several tourist attractions including the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim and Knott’s Berry Farm in Buena Park.
