Brief History
There are several signs that San Clemente will remain a quiet village, no matter how fast or how many new homes are built on the hills around it.
People still stop to chat as they stroll down Avenida Del Mar, the city's shopping showcase. The same people take the same spots on the 33 acres of beach that border the southernmost tip of Orange County. And while newer, larger communities are served by area malls and shopping centers, San Clemente's local merchants still manage to serve a large part of the community.
It is the kind of lifestyle that developer Ole Hanson envisioned when he founded the city in 1929. Hanson dreamed of building a "Spanish Village By the Sea" when he purchased 2,000 acres of then-Rancho Santa Margarita for just over $1 million in 1926. (Previous information from Orange County.net)
