Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. In which county or counties is/are major Walt Disney theme park properties located?

Answer: Both

Among many other Disney theme park properties in the world (Tokyo, Paris, Hong Kong, Shanghai), Disneyland (the first Disney theme park) is located in Anaheim, Orange County, California. Disney World is immense and is located in three counties in Florida: Orange, Osceola, and Polk.
2. Huntington Beach claims to be "Surf City USA." In which Orange County is it located?

Answer: California

The Pacific beach in Huntington Beach, California, is about nine-and-a-half miles (15.3 kilometres) long. In the winter, North Pacific storms and, in the summer, South Pacific storms propagate year-'round surf at Huntington Beach. In 1919, the City of Huntington Beach sold several hundred small (112-foot-by-25-foot) unbuildable lots to Encyclopaedia Britannica. The book company offered one free to anyone who would buy a $126 complete set of their encyclopaedias. Beginning in 2009, the city began to buy up these lots to create an "open space" overseen by their parks department.
3. In which Orange County is one most likely to find the largest number of Asian restaurants?

Answer: Orange County, California

According to a 2023 Pew Research Center survey, over half of all the people of Asian origin in the US live in California, New York, Texas, New Jersey and Washington. Just under half of all Asian restaurants (45%) were found in those five states. California is located on the Pacific Rim.

It is common to easily find a restaurant serving Japanese sushi, Korean BBQ, Thai noodles, Vietnamese sandwiches, and Chinese General Tso's Chicken. The way you can tell if you're in a non-Asian Southern California restaurant is if there is avocado in almost every dish and the option to add avocado to those few dishes that don't already have it.
4. In which county was the American television series "Beverly Hills, 90210" (1990-2000) set?

Answer: Los Angeles County, California

Beverly Hills is a city encircled by the City of Los Angeles, California. Beverly Hills is located entirely in Los Angeles County. The Aaron Spelling teen-angst television series "Beverly Hills, 90210" was therefore set in Los Angeles County, not Orange County. The programme advanced the careers of Jason Priestley, Luke Perry, Shannen Doherty, Jennie Garth, Tori Spelling, Tiffani Amber Thiessen, and Hilary Swank.
5. Which is larger in terms of acreage: Orange County, Florida, or Orange County, California?

Answer: Orange County, Florida

Orange County, California, is about 80% the size of Orange County, Florida. The area of the Florida county is 2599 km2 (1003 square miles); the area of the California county is 2053 km2 (793 square miles). Orange County, California, is hedged in by the Pacific Ocean, by Los Angeles County, by San Bernardino County, by Riverside County, and by San Diego County.
6. In which Orange County is one likely to see wild alligators?

Answer: Orange County, Florida

There is a significant wild alligator population in the state of Florida. Thus the mascot(s) of the University of Florida in Gainesville, Florida: the Gators. In Christmas, Orange County, California, the Jungle Adventures Nature Park & Zoo welcomes tourists to meet real live alligators up close and personal. For the less intrepid, a gigantic alligator effigy named "Swampy" stretches 200 feet (61 metres) from the park entrance. There was, at one time, an alligator farm next door to Knott's Berry Farm in Buena Park, Orange County, California, but it was replaced by a Radisson Suites Hotel.
7. In which Orange County is one most likely to find the largest number of Cuban restaurants?

Answer: Orange County, Florida

According to a 2014 Smartscapers survey, Florida has the most Cuban restaurants in the US (by a factor nearly ten) and the highest number of Cuban restaurants by unit of population. The "sándwich Cubano" is the most popular Cuban dish in the US, especially in Florida.

There were more people of Cuban extraction living in Florida in 2019 than in any other US state. It is only 238 miles (367 kilometres) from Miami to Havana. In addition to Cuban food, Florida menus include what is sometimes called "Southern comfort food": sweet tea, shrimp and grits, biscuits and gravy, grits with eggs, orange juice, and key lime pie.
8. Knott's Berry Farm is located in which county?

Answer: Orange County, California

In 1920 Walter and Cordelia Knott opened a roadside berry stand on State Route 39 in what would become Buena Park, Orange County, California. Mrs. Knott opened an adjacent restaurant. By the 1940s, Knott's Berry Farm opened other shops and became what Walter Knott envisioned as a "summer-long county fair." Tourism increased with the addition of roller coasters, a ghost town, and numerous amusement-park type rides.
9. Daytona Beach is the largest beach in Orange County, Florida.

Answer: False

Daytona Beach calls itself the headquarters of NASCAR (National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing) because the association was founded there in 1948 and established its national offices there, as well. After fifty years of "road" racing on the sand of Daytona Beach, the 500 was removed to the Daytona International Speedway in 1959. Daytona Beach is located in Volusia County, Florida, and not in Orange County.
10. In 92 episodes over four years (2003-2007), "The O.C." depicted the lives of teenagers in which Orange County?

Answer: Orange County, California

The conflict which propels "The O.C." surrounds the trouble between a "wrong side of the tracks" teenager and the rich, snobby, pampered, fashionable, shallow teenagers of Newport Beach, California. This ritzy community is located in Orange County, California. It is described by the initialism "the O.C." The scenes were shot primarily in Manhattan Beach (Los Angeles County), Hermosa Beach (Los Angeles County), and Redondo Beach (Los Angeles County).
