Orinda, CA
Present-day Orinda was located within four Mexican land grants: Rancho Laguna de los Palos Colorados, Rancho Acalanes, Rancho El Sobrante and Rancho Boca de la Cañada del Pinole. The area was originally rural, mainly known for ranching and summer cabins. In the late 1800s, the land was named by Alice Marsh Cameron in honor of the poet Katherine Philips, who was also known as the "Matchless Orinda".[1]
In the 1880s, the United States Surveyor General for California, Theodore Wagner, built an estate which he named Orinda Park.[2] The Orinda Park post office opened in 1888.[2] The post office's name was changed to Orinda in 1895.[2] Orinda was also the site of Bryant Station, a stop on the failed California and Nevada Railroad around the turn of the 20th century. In later times, the area around Bryant Station was known as Orinda Crossroads.[
