History & History Related Items
Rancho Santa Margarita history: This area was purchased in 1843 by Juan Forster who renamed it "La Victoria." After his death, the land was sold to James C. Flood and Richard O'Neill, Sr. Most of the holdings wound up in the hands of O'Neill's son, Jerome, who helped the ranch to grow to 230,000 acres. His holdings were incorporated during this time. He died in 1926. His heirs again incorporated several areas, including what would become Mission Viejo. The residents established the Community Civic Association (CCA) in 1989 to provide a voice for the people here. Later, the named was changed to the Rancho Margarita Civic Association. This organization looked into the community becoming a city, but nothing much was done until 1995 when the Rancho Santa Margarita Cityhood Committee, another organization, began the process to convert the town into a city. The people of the area desired to "have it all." They hoped to have a real "Urban Village," with all the advantages of a small city plus the quality of life in a small village. Eventually, Rancho Santa Margarita was officially incorporated on 1 January 2000. It was the 33rd city in Orange County.
The founding of Rancho Santa Margarita: 1985
