Orange County, CA-Victoria Newman __Aim:__ Orange County’s purpose in being in the Fast Food Nations book is because it was the leading agricultural county in the U.S., growing fruits, nuts, vegetables, etc. “Orange county and neighboring Los Angeles County were the leading agricultural counties in the United States, growing fruits, nuts, vegetables, and flowers on land that only a generation earlier had been a desert covered in sagebrush and cactus” (Schlosser). Naugles was founded by former Del Taco partner Dick Naugle. Dick's motto was "Prepare food fresh. Serve customer fast. Keep place clean!" Harold Butler purchased Naugles in 1979 and built up to 225 restaurants by 1886, when he sold the chain to Collins Foods International. Naugles merges with Del Taco in 1988. __Audience:__ The intended audience are visitors/tourists because Disneyland and Knott’s Berry Farm are located in Orange County, California. “The county is famous for its tourism as the home of attractions like Disneyland , Knott's Berry Farm, and several beaches along its more than 40 miles (64 km) of coastline. It is also known for its political conservatism” (Wikipedia). Orange County has a total population of 3,010,232 plus when they’re visitors/tourists. __Historical:__ The historical impact for this term is that the first people to live in Orange County came here a thousand years ago. “They lived by hunting and fishing, and gathering plants and seeds. Later, Shoshonean-speaking people arrived, the ancestors of the tribes we know today as the Juaneño and the Gabrielino” (Orange County Historical Society). Don Gaspar de Portolá led the first overland expedition through Orange County in 1769, and two years later Father Junípero Serra founded Mission San Gabriel in what is now Los Angeles County. This leads to much of what is now Orange County, grazing cattle, horses, and sheep here until the 1830s. __Cultural:__ Orange County was the second most populous county in California when the population reached 2 million for the first time in the 1980s.  “In the 1980s, Orange County had become the second most populous county in California as the population topped two million for the first time” (Wikipedia). On June 12, 1996 Orange County at the time was the largest municipal bankruptcy in U.S. history and we lost $1.5 billion. Also, El Toro Marine Corps Air Station was designated by a voter measure in 1994 to be developed into an international airport to complement the existing John Wayne Airport. But subsequent voter initiatives and court actions have caused the airport plan to be permanently shelved. Instead, it will become the Orange County Great Park. __Works Cited:__ [|__https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naugles__] [|__https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orange_County,_California__] [|__http://www.orangecountyhistory.org/history-brief.html__]
