- On January 4th, 1889, Assemblyman E. E. Edwards introduced a bill to create Orange County.
- - The historic Albert & Susan Chaffee House (1913) at 12771 Nelson Ave., Garden Grove, is up for sale. The 2,040-square-foot, two-story bungalow will only set you back $500! The catch? You have to pay to have the house moved and provide the dirt to put under it. Still, it could be a pretty sweet deal for the preservation-minded buyer. If you’re interested, call the owner, Garden Grove Planning Commissioner Ron Pierce at (714) 757-5400.
- - The vacant old commercial building at 431 S. Lemon St. in the Colony historic district of Anahiem was badly damaged by a fire late Monday. There weren’t many old commercial structures downtown, and now there’s one less.
- - Volunteers are raising money for a Veterans Memorial in Veterans Park in Yorba Linda, where the city has its annual 4th of July Celebration. If you’d like to help, visit ylvma.org.
- - The First Advent Christian Church of Tustin celebrated it’s 125th anniversary on Monday, Dec. 30th.
- - The “Majestic California” exhibit at the Irvine Museum ends Jan. 13th. The exhibit features paintings of California from the early 1900s.
- - The O.C. Historical Society’s next meeting will be at the new Segerstrom Center for the Arts, in Costa Mesa, on Thurs, Jan 11, at 6:30pm. Tim Dunn will lead members on a private tour of this impressive new building. I have no idea why this is historical, but it does sound interesting. (Their February program will about the “Orange County on Display” exhibit at the John Wayne Airport.)
