About this Venue

The first Orange County Fairs were primarily livestock exhibitions and horse races. At the turn of the century, a carnival of products was added and the Fair became an annual event. The Fair was held in Santa Ana until after World War I when it was moved to Huntington Beach for two years and then back to temporary grounds on East Fruit Street in Santa Ana. In 1916, the Fair was taken over by the newly organized Orange County Farm Bureau. The first OC Fair Board was elected in 1925 and the Fair relocated to Anaheim, across the street from the Orange County Hospital. In 1925, a rodeo and carnival were added to the Fair.
