Little Saigon turns 50 By Guy Ball Vietnamese Heritage Museum Founder and President Chau Thuy will discuss “The Vietnamese Diaspora and Little Saigon,” at the next meeting of the Orange County Historical Society on Thursday, Nov. 13. This year marks the 50th anniversary of the end of the Vietnam War and the beginnings of the Vietnamese-American community in the part of Orange County we now know as Little Saigon. After the fall of Saigon, USMC Camp Pendleton served as America’s first Vietnamese refugee camp. Soon, church groups in the heart of Orange County began sponsoring many of those refugees. Many families settled permanently in Westminster, Garden Grove, Orange and surrounding cities, building a new community that attracted still more displaced people. Today, Orange County’s Little Saigon is a thriving commercial and cultural center and home to the largest Vietnamese community outside Vietnam. A survivor of a harrowing boat escape from Vietnam to Thailand, Chau Thuy’s personal journey fuels his deep passion for cultural preservation and education. He is an artist, author and engineer dedicated to preserving the history and legacy of the Vietnamese diaspora. He has worked to safeguard and share the stories of Mick Victor Villa Park Women’s League to host artist Celebrating its 56th year, Villa Park Women's League (VPWL) will host its second General Meeting on Thursday, November 20, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Trinity Episcopal Church, 2400 N.
