Understand
Throughout the 1800s, this area consisted mostly of a few farms and some apple orchards. Costa Mesa was incorporated in 1920; its name means "coast tableland" in Spanish. During World War II, Costa Mesa was the site of the Santa Ana Army Air Base, a military installation that existed from 1942-1946. The west side of the city features industrial properties that specialize in manufacturing while the northern part of the city features commercial properties that specialize in business.
