Olive Through the Ages takes a look at the history of the community of Olive, California, from its days as a pastoral community in the mid-1700s to the mid-1800s; to a bustling 1880s boom town with a lucrative flour mill; to an orchard-filled community with five citrus packing houses between the 1910s to the 1950s; to a residential island from the early 1960s to present times, struggling to retain its name and identity amidst growing pressures to incorporate into the City of Orange.

This Web site was created as a tribute to Olive, to make the public aware of its existence, and to preserve its history.
