<strong>Irvine</strong> (Ellen Baker Bell) The story of <strong>Irvine</strong> goes back more than 200 years, to a time when it was a vast, sprawling ranch extending from the brush-covered foothills of the Santa Ana Mountains to the dramatic bluffs of the Pacific coast. Since that time, the <strong>Irvine</strong> Ranch has experienced a revolutionary change from pastoral wide-open spaces to one of the most successful planned communities in the nation. All along the way, there were people whose vision shaped the transformation of <strong>Irvine</strong>. Among them were the members of the <strong>Irvine</strong> family, who for nearly a century were stewards of a ranch that amounted to more than one-fifth of modern-day Orange County. The <strong>Irvine</strong> of today owes its success to the ideals from its past: the determination to develop the immense potential of the land while still preserving its natural beauty.<br />
