San Clemente, Orange County, California is a city, six miles south of San Juan Capistrano, with just over 70,000 people. It is located at the southern tip of Orange County, on the Pacific coast and lies fifty miles from San Diego and 60 miles from Los Angeles. Famous for its spectacular ocean views, year round clement climate and its Spanish Colonial architecture, San Clemente is also a haven for holiday makers and surfers alike and, the "Spanish Village by the Sea" is the most affordable beachfront community in Orange County.

The very nature of the city planning and the community assures that the great quality of life of the area will continue to be available to future generations.

The area was practically uninhabited before the 1770's, with only sporadic settlements of the Juaneno Indians. The Mission at San Juan Capistrano was by founded in 1776 by Father Junipero Serra. Indians as well as Spanish settlers soon began building on and inhabiting the area, although true development boom didn't begin until Ole Hanson, ex-mayor of Seattle, bought extensive property in the area in 1925. He christened the area San Clemente, designing a 2,000-acre community with classic Spanish colonial style red tile roof buildings. Hanson, a visionary, realized that the pleasant climate, pristine beaches and incredibly fertile soil of the area be a haven to future generations who wished to escape the big city life for something simpler and more tranquil.
