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