Notice that Dr. In he was interviewed by a reporter for the Santa Ana Blade , who explained:. Besides doing a large medical practice, Dr. Hardin got the cream of the early nursery business in this neighborhood when he got a couple of barrels of Tahiti oranges which he mashed down and planted in beds in his city lot in Anaheim at a time when the orange growing business was first beginning to be talked up.
The tree was planted many years ago by the Mexicans, and, we believe, is still thrifty. Hardin raised seedling orange trees by the thousands at comparatively little expense and he just hit the market right. Thus Dr. Hardin himself admits his were not the first local trees. So what of the other two contenders he names?
Now in , when Dr. There we find some valuable contemporary information. On September 23, , the Gazette reported that Dr. Hardin had planted ten barrels of decayed oranges last spring — presumably the spring of , not — and already had 8, young trees growing. On January 27, the Gazette reported that Dr. Hardin had just sold 1, three-year-old orange trees, which also suggests an planting. But also in we already find advertisements offering orange trees for sale.
On January 21, Theodore Schmidt offered orange and lemon trees from his Anaheim nursery. Three weeks later February 11, , Columbus Tustin advertised orange trees for sale at Tustin City. Hardin did and only later transplanted to the fields, so the young trees could have been started elsewhere. The Los Angeles County tax rolls for show Desiderio Burruel assessed for not one, but three orange trees along with a good many other plantings.
These must have been old enough to be producing trees at the time to make it on the tax rolls. Burruel, the son-in-law of Teodosio Yorba, lived up on the hill at Olive Heights. A correspondent for the Anaheim Gazette visited in and noticed several old orange trees in the area:. I recently visited the ranch of Messrs.
Wakefield and Barr in Olive district, about 3 miles from Anaheim, and while there was shown an orange tree of huge dimensions. This tree measures 45 inches in circumference a foot from the ground, and the year before last produced over 3, oranges.
It is said to be about 40 years of age and bids fair to live many years more. I could not help admiring its great size and fine, healthy appearance…. This place is known as Olive ranch and on it is located the old Santa Ana house which still is in very good condition and is used by the owners as a residence…. Adjoining this place is the ranch of Mr. Mitchell, commonly known as the Alfalfa Dairy Ranch.
On the fine, balmy morning that I visited this place, I found Mr. Mitchell at home, and he kindly showed me about and gave me all the information in his power. This ranch was settled over 75 years ago by Teodocio Yorba, and was afterwards known as the Burruel rancho. The old adobe house is yet standing and is used as a dwelling house, but it bears the marks of wear and age. I first examined the trees, which were planted many years ago by Spaniards who formerly lived here, and which have attained great size.

About 5, trees fan out across 52 acres, according to his executive assistant. Ironically, Lyon made millions building homes where orchards once stood. Few of the trees sprouted here when the county name was proposed in Rather, the abundant crops were corn and grapes — neither of which possessed the needed charm for branding a place that hoped to attract new residents. But when the railroads expanded through the area and a blight wiped out the grape industry, the orange became king of cash crops.
By , there were more than 65, acres of Valencias, according to county records. The population skyrocketed. So did property taxes, land values and the cost of water. In the arboretum at Cal State Fullerton, volunteers pick and sell fruit from two short rows of trees. Sometimes their juice is served at special events. Trees invariably die, yet artifacts of the industry also are preserved in repurposed packing houses, where fruit once was cleaned, piled into crates and shipped away.
