Orange County, or the OC as it's called by the locals, is California's most populous county, and has been home to many famous faces, including Mickey Mouse, the Beach Boys, and Richard Nixon. Orange County Then and Now visits all of the OC's legendary locations and pairs vintage views with modern scenes. It features the following. • Sixty-nine pairs of photographs show how this sun-kissed valley looked long ago, and how it looks today, illustrating the impact of Southern California's economy and population explosion on the landscape. • Fantastic archival photographs show how Orange County still reflects the influences of the Spanish missionaries who settled here in 1769. Side-by-side images of the Mission of San Juan Capistrano — as it was then and as it is today — make for a fascinating view of California history. • Everyone knows that Disneyland put Anaheim on the map, but amazing photos show what was there before the Magic Kingdom. • From Seal Beach to Dana Point, discover the world-famous beach cities of Orange County such as Newport, Huntington and Laguna Beaches, as they were then and as they are now.
