Orange County, traditionally considered by liberals to be somewhat conservative compared to all other urban locations in the left-wing Blue state California, is the third most populous county in California.[1] It was created in 1889 and was given the name for its extensive orange groves.[2]
From 2014 through 2018 Orange County had the three most conservative cities in the entire state based upon multiple polls, surveys, and news sources among the largest populated places in California. The three top conservative cities with these registered voters are Newport Beach, Yorba Linda, and San Clemente in Orange County of Southern California.[3][4] As an urban area, Orange County has been shifting increasingly liberal. In 2016, the county voted for a Democrat for president for the first time since 1936, and in 2018, the county became entirely represented in Congress by Democrats.[5] In 2019, registered Democrats in the county had grown to outnumber registered Republicans.[6]
