Well orange county has to do with the county while orange is the city. I guess that's how the people in most of Orange County see it. It's hard to just say orange.

Right, just like Boulder and Boulder County. What I'm saying is if I'm from somewhere in Orange County (but not the city of Orange), I say Orange County because otherwise it implies that I'm from the city Orange. If I'm from the city of Orange, then I just say Orange.

Orange county is named after the huge orange groves that used to be in the County until it was urbanized.
