Santa Ana Real Estate Santa Ana Real Estate is located on 27 square miles of Orange County´s vast land. When William H. Spurgeon rode through the town all he could see was tall yellow mustard.He climbed atop a sycamore tree and viewed the land.He later bought 76.2 acres from Jacob Ross Sr. for $595.00.Ross had purchased 650 acres from Jose Antonia Yorba who was granted the land from the Spanish expedition of Portola in 1769. Portola had named the city Santa Ana in honor of Saint Anne on July 26, 1769. It was incorporated and separated from Los Angeles in 1889.Soon after it was designated as the County Seat for Orange County. Spurgeon sold his town in blocks of ten lots each and committed his long life in service for the city. He died in 1915 at the ripe old age of 88. Spurgeon opened a small general store, post office and built and paid for a road through the mustard fields for transportation to and from Anaheim to meet the Wells Fargo Stage coach. Of coarse the railroad brought many along the way to Santa Ana. Spurgeon also started the artesian well for the water supply for his great city.
