OCTHen reader "Pat Nolen" recalls growing up in an area of Orange County known as "Delhi", and submits the following...
I grew up in Orange County, lived in area called "Delhi" where there was Orange groves and Sugar Beets growing, right outside of El Toro Helicopter Marine Base. I went to school at Smedley Junior High School, then on to Santa Ana Valley High School. I have not been there in years, it's my understanding the most of the black families no longer live there, (Latino population). Does anyone know if the public library has any yearbooks from 1968-69? I plan to visit the area in March 2009.I never heard of Delhi. If you have some information or memories to share on this area, please post a comment below...
Much appreciated,
