Orchard Hills is one of the master-planned communities of Irvine, California. To the east, it borders Limestone Canyon Regional Park, and to the west lies North Tustin, California. Located between 261 Highway and 241 Highway, the community is home to the Rattlesnake and Syphon reservoirs.

History[edit]

Orchard Hills was historically inhabited by the Chumash, Alliklik, Kitanemuk, Serrano, Gabrielino Luiseno Cahuilla, and the Kumeyaay tribes,[1] predominantly the Gabrieleno Tribes who are thought to have been Uto-Aztecan speakers. Some researchers believe that the Aztecs descended from California. Orchard Hills is near Irvine Ranch, so it is expected that Gabrieleño farmers and Hunter-gatherers likely farmed acorns, mesquite, Prickly-Pear Cactus, chia seeds, wild cherry, white sage, among other fruits.[2]

European colonization[edit]

From the 17th century to the early 19th century, California was under Spanish rule as Alta California. During this period, the state was limited to trading outposts, villages, forts, and most notably, the Spanish missions in California, which were erected by Junipero Serra. The mission closest to Orchard Hills is San Juan Capistrano, which was founded in 1776.[3]

Mexican-American war[edit]

One of the implications of the Mexican–American War was the Bear Flag Revolt, which disrupted native activity in the area near Orchard Hills.[4]
