SOAR is pleased to announce the creation of our 40th Chapter.
SOAR-Orange County continues our expansion in the West, joining already
established Chapters in Alaska, Colorado, Fresno, Idaho, Las Vegas,
Los Angeles, Phoenix, San Diego, San Francisco/Oakland, and Seattle.
About 40 miles south of downtown Los Angeles, Orange County (OC)
is a rapidly growing metropolis. Given its fairly close proximity
to Glendale and strong job market, many Armenians have moved to OC
over the last decade. Compared to other neighborhoods in California,
OC is fairly nascent in terms of its Armenian population. The earliest
record of a count of the local Armenian is from the Board of Trustees
of the OC Armenians in 1973. The group identified 150 local residents
as Armenian and soon set out to build the community’s first Armenian
Church. Today, the largest population of Armenians can be found
in northern and central OC, specifically in Anaheim, Costa Mesa,
and Irvine.
Welcome SOAR-Orange County!
