Irvine History
Prior to European settlement, Irvine was inhabited by the Gabrieleno tribes almost two millennia ago. The Spanish explorer Gaspar de Portola arrived in 1769 which resulted in the construction of forts and missions for the Spanish Monarchy. When Mexico gained its independence from Spain, they began distributing the lands to citizens who applied for it.
In 1878 James Irvine acquired a total of 110,000 acres of land that stretched from the Pacific to the Santa Ana River. The resulting ranch passed to his son when he died in 1886. Irvine Jr then converted the land to field crops.
The Santa Fe Railroad arrived in 1888 and honored Irvine Sr. by naming the stop after him, but the town that sprouted around the station came to be known as Myford, after James Irvine Senior’s grandson, Myford Irvine. Myford was renamed in 1914 to Irvine.
