Tustin is a city located in Orange County, California, in the Los Angeles metropolitan area. The city of Tustin was Incorporated in 1927. It is a city rich in history, much of it still seen in the Old Town district with its historic buildings, some dating back to the 1880s, which are found on Main Street and El Camino Real. The city is located next to the county seat, Santa Ana, and does not include North Tustin.
Although much of the city’s trees have been uprooted because of development, Tustin’s motto, ‘The City of Trees’ is still relevant today. Many trees still line the streets throughout the city making a tour through Tustin’s streets a pleasant and tranquil drive. Tustin is a city that is proud of its small-town heritage. Although it is growing in population, city officials and residents want to hold on to the city’s old-fashioned atmosphere.
Tustin was founded in 1868 by Columbus Tustin, a Philadelphia farmer, and entrepreneur. But the town’s growth was rather slow compared with neighboring Santa Ana and Orange. It took nearly 60 years before the predominantly farming community grew to 500 residents and was incorporated. In the early days, what was then called “Tustin City” lived in the shadows of Santa Ana. But many Tustin residents did not seem to mind. They cherished their citrus and eucalyptus trees, the view of nearby hills, and the small-town atmosphere.
The trees eventually gave way to development as houses, shops, and industrial sites sprang up. In 1942, the US Navy established a base for use of blimps for antisubmarine patrols. The US Marine Corps took over the base in 1951, and until it’s recent closure, it was used as a helicopter air station.
Old Town, which is defined by the original boundaries of the city when it incorporated in 1927, is home to several historic structures, including the Knights of Pythias building that housed Tustin’s first City Hall. The Tustin Area Museum is located on El Camino Real in historic downtown Tustin. The museum carries an extensive collection of artifacts, books, and photos from Tustin’s early days.
Although most citrus orchards have been replaced by homes, schools, shopping centers, and industry, there remains a vast and varied assortment of eucalyptus, pepper, palm, pine and oak trees throughout the City. As in the beginning, Tustin continues to be the “City of Trees”.
