On Thursday the 13th at 7 p.m. a presentation will be given to the Orange County Historical Society at Trinity Episcopal Church, 2400 N. Canal Street in Orange on some of the history of the oil town of Olinda.
Join us for a discussion of how a portion of northeastern Orange County in what is now Brea became a ranch with a name drawn from Brazil and the Hawaiian island of Mau'i, included a failed boomtown called Carlton and then, in 1897, yielded the county's first oil well, followed by decades of huge oil production.
Only now are some of the last oil wells at Olinda being decommissioned for a large planned community under the Brea265 banner, so the timing of this talk is particularly notable. We hope to see you there!
