This is a last minute reminder that tonight, Thursday the 13th at 7 p.m. at Trinity Episcopal Church, 2400 N. Canal St. in Orange, a presentation on the Olinda Ranch and oil field will be given to the Orange County Historical Society.
This illustrated talk will cover the development of the area from the 1860s to the 1950s, including the Shanklin Ranch purchased by Hawaii-born son of missionaries, William H. Bailey, the boomtown of Carlton, early area oil history dating back to 1865, the community at the oil field including the old Olinda School, and more.
We certainly hope you will brave the rain and join us for what we hope will be a discussion that will bring surprises and new information on this northeastern corner of Orange County and just outside the west end of Carbon Canyon.
