Costa Mesa History

Located on the "coastal tableland" above Newport Bay, Costa Mesa was once grazing grounds for cattle belonging to the Mission San Juan Capistrano.  At the beginning of the 19th century, missionaries built an adobe "Estancia" or way-station for the vaqueros who tended the herds.  This structure still stands and was recently restored and transformed by the City into a museum at 1900 Adams Avenue.

World War II brought many thousands of people to the area for training at the Santa Ana Army Air Base, located on what is now the Orange County Fairgrounds, Orange Coast College, and the present site of the Civic Center.  When the war ended, many of these men and women returned with their families to begin the population boom which continues today.

On June 29, 1953, the City was incorporated and City Council-Manager form of government was chosen.  The new City had an area of 3.5 square miles and a population of 16,840.  Within 35 years, by 1988, the population had risen to 90,000 and the area to 17 square miles. 
The 2005 Census noted population at 113,143.  The City, which formally adopted the slogan "The City of the Arts” in 1999, is home to a regional symphony orchestra and the South Coast Repertory Theater.  The 3,000-seat Orange County Performing Arts Center was completed in 1985.  In 2006, both the 2,000-seat Renee and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall and the 500-seat Samueli Theater held their grand openings.

The retired couple's guide to livin' the dream - 5 days ago Question: My husband and I have been happily married for 28 years. Careful spending and sound planning over time has provided us with a very comfortable financial future. Although we're compatible in many ways, our outlook differs when it comes to enjoying our money. I'm more of a saver and I hate to shop. I'm already retired, and when my husband retires in a year we'll begin drawing on our retirement savings. Can you suggest some tips on how we can communicate effectively about spending our money? How do we assure that we'll both have the independence to decide how we want to spend "our share" without judgment? --Margaret M.
