The Orange County Sheriff’s Department (OCSD) was formed on Aug. 1, 1889, when the state legislature created Orange County. At the time, early Southern California was notoriously lawless. The entire sheriff’s department consisted of Sheriff Richard Harris and Deputy James Buckley, with an operating budget of $1,200 a year and a makeshift jail in the rented basement of a store in Santa Ana. They served a sparsely populated county of 13,000 residents, scattered throughout isolated townships and settlements. The problems faced by the first sheriff were typical for a frontier county—tracking down outlaws, controlling vagrancy, and attempting to maintain law and order across 782 square miles of farmland and undeveloped territory. Today, Orange County has a population of over three million residents. OCSD has grown to over 4,000 employees, continues to serve unincorporated areas, providing police services to 13 contract cities, the Orange County Transportation Authority and John Wayne Airport. The meeting will be held from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at 345 El Camino Real, Downtown Tustin. Tickets are $20 per person, $15 for members. More information and tickets are available at TustinHistory.com or by calling the museum directly at (714) 731-5701. Orange County’s first oil fields topic of OC Historical Society meeting By Guy Ball Historian Paul R. Spitzzeri presents “What Do Brazil, Maui, and Orange County Have in Common: History of the Olinda Ranch and Oil Field,” at the next monthly meeting of the Orange County Historical Society. The meeting will be held on Thursday, Feb. 13, starting at 7:30 p.m., at Trinity Episcopal Church, 2400 N. Canal St., Orange. Attendance is free for OCHS members or a $5 donation for non-members. In the 1880s, William H. Bailey bought land in what was still part of Los Angeles County (and is now part of Brea) and bestowed the name Olinda on his ranch. From there came a boomtown called Carlton and then Orange County’s first oil field with the moniker best known today with Brea-Olinda High School. Spitzzeri will share the history of this northeastern corner of the county, including a display of artifacts. The Olinda oil fields, circa 1910s. Olinda School, 1910s.
