History:
Much of the budding settlement of Garden Grove, California was still largely under agriculture when it was given its name in the 1870s by Mormons who were moving through after stopping by in Garden Grove, Iowa. Over the decades the City grew into the urban sprawl that it is today, although you can still visit a strawberry patch in the heart of downtown Garden Grove, nearby to the restored old farmhouse that is the repository of a rich agricultural heritage. Over time part of the inner city has degraded – this is being reversed by the 'Renaissance Garden Grove Program' that will see an increase in urban homes and hotel rooms.
