Over the
past 100 years, Orange grew from a thriving agricultural center into a
quaint but lively city. In 1890, two years after incorporation, Orange
had just 866 residents. City planning estimates now put Orange's
population at over 132,000.
Today,
Orange has been expanding its population and its boundaries. Bordered by
unincorporated land to the east, the city has been growing by bits and
pieces every year.
In the
coming years, Orange will renovate the old town area and expand
eastward, annexing 7,100 acres within Orange's 60-square mile boundary.
