Irvine
The story of Irvine goes back more than 200 years, to a time when it was a vast, sprawling ranch extending from the brush-covered foothills of the Santa Ana Mountains to the dramatic bluffs of the Pacific coast. Since that time, the Irvine Ranch has experienced a revolutionary change from pastoral wide-open spaces to one of the most successful planned communities in the nation. All along the way, there were people whose vision shaped the transformation of Irvine. Among them were the members of the Irvine family, who for nearly a century were stewards of a ranch that amounted to more than one-fifth of modern-day Orange County. The Irvine of today owes its success to the ideals from its past: the determination to develop the immense potential of the land while still preserving its natural beauty.
Irvine Park
"It was 1906...more than one hundred years ago...when William Irvine and the Chippewa Lumber and Boom Company donated land to make a park that today can be compared to none other. Since then, several smaller parks have been created and are also a part of the community. To recognize all of the parks, we have tried to describe their many attributes, including natural environments, history and growth. To accomplish this, it has taken about a year of research, writing and rewriting, finding or taking appropriate photos, and listening to stories and suggestions by many people. The authors, Donna Bourget (research, pictures and layout), Anne Keller (descriptive paragraphs), and Jim Schuh (publicity), hope that you will enjoy - and learn about, through pictures and words on paper, what nature created and people care for. Take a walk in a park today; appreciate its history and enjoy its beauty"--back cover.
Neighborhood Architecture Irvine Park Saint Paul
What began as a casual sketch outing in Saint Paul's charming Irvine Park neighborhood during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic became Neighborhood Architecture - Irvine Park, Saint Paul: a coloring book. Twin Cities-based illustrator Jeanne Kosfeld and author Richard Kronick have together transformed a simple sketchbook featuring pen and ink drawings into a brief storytelling of the Irvine Park neighborhood's unique 172-year history. Artists of all ages and abilities can colorize their own imagined versions of these historic edifices, including fanciful Queen Anne-style homes, simple clapboard houses, and elaborate French Second Empire-style mansions, while learning about the architec...

Early Costa Mesa
Three emerging communities from the partitioned Rancho Santiago de Santa Ana formed the improbable start for a city that would eventually proclaim itself the City of the Arts. These farming communitiesFairview, Paularino, and Harperattracted families and businesspeople. Community leaders then took pragmatic steps to meet local needs such as schools, churches, and a water supply. Harpers first land developer appealed to folks of modest means by advertising, You! Five Acres. By 1920, Harper needed a broader identity and a local businessman proposed a naming contest, offering a $25 prize. Costa Mesa, recognizing the areas heritage and geography, reaped the reward. Eight years later, voters handily defeated the City of Santa Anas annexation attempt by a margin of five to one. The Great Depression, the 1933 Long Beach earthquake, and the 1938 Santa Ana River flood then besieged the fledgling community. Undaunted, Costa Mesa continued to grow. By 1939, the stage had been set for the postwar miracle that would become the modern city of Costa Mesa.
