While exploring Irvine Park, I saw this marker placed for Irvine Park.
The marker reads as follows:
Irvine Park

Indians gathered acorns here long before Columbus' time. In 1897, James Irvine, Jr. gave the people their long-time favorite "picnic grounds." The original 160-acre grove was known as Orange County Park until 1928.
