- Overview
California Citrus State Historic Park, located in oranges , lemons and grapefruit gave California another legacy;mdash;its lingering image as the Golden State;mdash;the land of sunshine and opportunity. The design of the park is reminiscent of a 1900s city park, complete with an activity center, interpretive structure, amphitheater, picnic area, and demonstration groves. The land contained within the park still continues to produce high-quality fruits.In 1873, the US Department of Agriculture forever changed the history of Southern California when it sent two small navel orange trees to Riverside resident Eliza Tibbets. Those trees, growing in near perfect soil and weather conditions, produced an especially sweet and flavorful fruit. Word of this type of orange quickly spread, and a great agricultural industry was born.The parks visitor center houses a museum about the states citrus industry, and antique citrus grove equipment is on display around the park.[1]
