Santa Ana Civic Center
The Santa Ana Civic Center is a district of Santa Ana, California that is home to several city, county, state, and federal government buildings. The combination of historic and modernist architecture in the area reflects its longstanding history as Orange County's hub for political, judicial, and governmental proceedings. 

The city of Santa Ana was established in 1869 by William Spurgeon on of land purchased from the old Spanish land grant, Rancho Santiago de Santa Ana. Upon the foundation of the County of Orange in 1889, Santa Ana was chosen as the county seat because of its larger growth as a town compared to surrounding towns, namely Orange. The initial Orange County Courthouse was built in 1901, anchoring the area as the future site of the Civic Center. The Civic Center as well as its surrounding early developments comprise Downtown Santa Ana.
