“Laguna Woods Village”的意思、由来-开放百科全书

Ross Cortese’s early success in 1961 with Leisure World Seal Beach provided the concept of what would become Laguna Woods Village.^[2] Cortese purchased several sites across the nation, including {{convert|3500|acre|km2}} rural of the Moulton Ranch, located in the Saddleback Valley of southern Orange County, California.

Construction of Laguna Woods Village began in the spring of 1963 with an initial phase of 530 units. The first ten homeowners moved into the community on September 10, 1964.

In October 2005 the community formally changed its name to what is now known as Laguna Woods Village,^[3] to avoid copyright disagreements with the estate of Ross Cortese over the use of the Leisure World name.^[3]
