Irvine, city, Orange county, southern California, U.S. Adjacent to the city of Santa Ana (northwest), Irvine lies about 40 miles (60 km) southeast of Los Angeles. Originally inhabited by Tongva (or Gabrielino) Indians, the area was explored by Gaspar de Portolá in 1769. The land that would become the modern city (and one of the largest planned cities in the United States) was composed of parts of Ranchos Santiago de Santa Ana (1801), a Spanish land grant, and San Joaquin (1837) and Lomas de Santiago (1846), both Mexican land grants. By the 1860s much of the land had been acquired by sheep ranchers Benjamin and Thomas Flint, Llewellyn Bixby, and James Irvine (for whom the city is named). By 1876 Irvine had purchased the entire tract of what became known as the Irvine Ranch. His son inherited the land and established the Irvine Company in 1894. Irvine subsequently developed into a farming community, with crops that included barley, lima beans, olives, asparagus, strawberries, and oranges. During World War II, two U.S. Marine facilities were built on land formerly owned by the Irvine Company. The University of California, Irvine, was established in 1965 and is now the city’s leading employer; the campus houses the Irvine Barclay Theatre, which hosts concerts and other entertainment. The city is also the seat of Concordia University (1976) and a community college (1979). Other notable attractions are an amphitheatre, which holds up to 15,000 spectators for outdoor concerts, and the Irvine Museum (1993), which features California art from the Impressionist period. Irvine Ranch Land Reserve, with some 50,000 acres (20,000 hectares) of protected land—which constitutes more than half of the historic ranch—is popular for hiking, horseback riding, and bird-watching. John Wayne Airport, immediately west of the city, serves Orange county and is among the busiest airports in the United States. Laguna Coast Wilderness Park is adjacent to the southern part of the city, and the Santa Ana Mountains are to the east. Crystal Cove State Park is nearby. Inc. 1971. Pop.
