Orange County
Location and importance
Costa Mesa forms part of the chain of middle-sized towns which lie one after the other southeast of Los Angeles on both sides of the U.S. 405, the so-called San Diego Freeway. Costa Mesa, Huntington Beach, Fountain Valley, Santa Ana and Newport Beach run almost imperceptibly one into the other. Costa Mesa takes precedent over the other towns in Orange County because of its commitment to culture.
