How Rancho Mariposa Apartments was built
Rancho Mariposa was built in 1992 on Myford Road, and that street name is a piece of Irvine Ranch history in itself. The Irvine family used the name Myford, and the Boy Scouts ran a Camp Myford up in Peters Canyon from 1952 until 1988, on land the Irvine Company handed to Orange County in 1992, the same year these apartments were finished.
It belongs to a family of apartment communities raised across Tustin Ranch under the Irvine Company's plan and given Spanish ranch names: Alisal, Maderas, Mariposa, Monterey, Santa Fe, Tierra and Veracruz. Mariposa means butterfly. The naming was consistent because the developer was, and because the ground really had been a ranch.
