History of Irvine in California

Background

Irvine, 50 miles south of Los Angeles, is an educational city called Gangnam Elementary School in Korea. Irvine has four public high schools, two alternative schools, 22 elementary schools and eight middle schools. All schools have evenly high API (Academic Assessment Index) of 9-10 grades, and many early students flock to Korea because of their excellent educational environment.

Elementary and middle schools have been operating APPAS PROGRAM since 1980, where teachers with experience in gifted education conduct prior learning on excellent students through GATE PROGRAM, and senior elementary school students are selected through various selection criteria such as grades and IQ, and special guidance is provided by classifying excellent students into gifted classes.

High schools have also prepared various goals for outstanding students to challenge, such as a system that allows students with excellent grades to win college credits in advance through Honor classes or AP courses in various subjects.

In addition, Irvine is the best city in which the entire city, including large green spaces and well-maintained roads and shopping malls, is clean and pleasant, and has been selected as the safest city to raise or the safest place to raise children by magazines such as the FBI, Money and Fairants Magazine. As the school district is good and the living environment is good, the number of Koreans living here is about 24,000, which is already close to 10% of the city's total population of 248,000, and it is considered one of the most inquired areas in the real estate industry recently.

History

In 1864, a man named James Irvine bought a large farm called Irvine Lange with a colleague. The farm is a massive 12,000-acre property that spans San Diego, Orange County, and LA, and a quarter of it was owned by Orange County. James Irvine even privatized the farm by buying his share of a colleague in 1876.

In 1894, James Irvine II, the son of James Irvine, founded The Irvine Company, which manages the land. At first, the management was done primarily to produce crops or to allow the family to graze. However, as LA's urban functions reached saturation point in the 1960s and urbanization spread to the south, The Irvine Company developed a master plan that took into account seven factors: job creation, residential environment, shopping, transportation, education, green environment, and recreational facilities, and began making it a planned city. Schools, parks, and shopping districts were located near each community, and when placing bench hens, it underwent thorough investigation and preliminary planning that took location and environment into consideration. It is still considered as one of the most difficult neighborhoods for business owners to enter. Even if it takes time, the landowner's will to create a "really decent city" and the city government and the Chamber of Commerce are in harmony, making Irvine a safer and more pleasant city than any other city.

The Irvine Company also donated 1,000 acres of land for just a dollar to build a state university, further enhancing the image of an educational city by creating UC Irvine, which has grown into one of the top 10 state universities in the United States.

Irvine Spectrum, Irvine's leading business center, is also the source of the word "If there is San Jose in North California, there is Irvine in Southern California." It is said that over the past decade, leading companies in high-tech industries such as computer software, wireless communication, biochemistry, automobiles, and medical equipment have been steadily flocking to contain the population inflow if the population reaches 300,000.
