History
Orange Park Acres was established in 1928 as Orange County’s designated equestrian destination. The paucity of sidewalks and street lights in many regions, as well as the presence of enclosed horse pathways, reflect much of that ancient history.
During the Windy Ridge fire in 2007, which destroyed the unincorporated lands surrounding Anaheim Hills and Orange Park Acres, the community was forced to evacuate. The fire destroyed 2,036 acres in total (824 ha)
It scorched over half of Weir Canyon Regional Park and forced the evacuation of many residences in Orange Park Acres and Anaheim Hills.
