“Old Town Irvine is a testimony to the vibrant agricultural history of what has become one of California's most profoundly industrialized counties. This historical place began in 1887 with the arrival of the AT&SF Railroad. James Irvine chose this site as the shipping center for crops grown on the Irvine Ranch due to its high elevation. The 125,000-acre Irvine Ranch, the distribution and housing center of the Irvine Ranch, was planned to serve as a bean and grain storage warehouse over the years.

Here, the hotel, general store, blacksmith's shop, and employees' bungalow were constructed.”
