Conveniently located in central Orange County and only a short 46 miles to Los Angeles Lake Forest, originally known as El Toro, is a city that respects the natural environment. The abundance of green parks, numerous trees and a beautiful lake are evidence of this. Although Lake Forest is a new City, having incorporated on December 20, 1991, the Lake Forest area has a long history. Starting out as an agricultural area like most of Orange County region.

" El Toro" was a stagecoach stop between San Diego and Los Angeles in the 1800s. After World War II, the El Toro Marine Base has helped shape the city's development - residential, commercial and industrial growth began to replace the acres of citrus and other agricultural products.

To preserve its past, Lake forest established an area of the city known as Heritage Hill. The first of Orange County's historical parks, it is the home of Serrano Adobe, built in the late 1880's and known as the oldest structure in the area.

Today, this master planned community is home to over 57,000 residents. Their official slogan, "Remember the Past - Challenge the future" is the ideal that will continue to shape the city's future.
