The George Key Ranch is one of just a handful of historic sites in Orange County.
It is located right in the middle of a residential neighborhood in the city of Placentia, CA—if you live in Placentia, you might have driven by it without knowing it’s there!
George Key was a citrus farmer here in the 1800s and bequeathed the land to the County of Orange in 1980.
Today, there are docent-led tours every Saturday. You can learn more about Orange County’s history as a citrus powerhouse.
