OC City Spotlight: Garden Grove
Vintage Orange Wednesday, May 25, 2016
Garden Grove has been on the Orange County landscape since Alonzo Cook created the townsite in 1874. It has transformed from a sleepy farm town to a diverse, muti-cultural home to more than nearly 200,000 residents.
Long-time community member and volunteer Josh McIntosh shares the history of his hometown, connecting the dots from the past to the present day.
He also talks about the upcoming Strawberry Festival, the annual Memorial Day weekend celebration that has been going strong for 58 years.
On Saturday, June 18, 2016, Garden Grove marks a significant milestone - the 60th anniversary of its incorporation! Gather friends and family, grab a picnic blanket and chair, and head to Village Green Park, located in downtown Garden Grove, for a free, community-wide celebration.
