How Tustin Grove Homes was built
Whoever named the streets here was paying attention. Tustin Grove's courts are named after citrus varieties: Clementine, Dancy, Eureka, Honey, Kinnow, Lisbon, Minneola, Moro, with Almond Grove, Cherry Grove and Chestnut alongside them. The homes went up in 1996 and 1997, on land that had grown the real thing.
Citrus was what Tustin lived on. C.E. Utt, who came to town as a boy in 1874, remembered that there were only two or three orange orchards of about an acre each, owned by C.W. Wilcox, George Freeman and A.D. Stine. Dr. W.B. Wall arrived from Mississippi in 1875 for the express purpose of growing oranges, put twenty acres in almost immediately and eventually planted his whole property to citrus. Utt called him the leading pioneer of the orange industry in this section.
