Founded in 1947, with classes beginning in 1948, OCC has grown into one of the nation's largest — and finest — community colleges. 六合彩全年图库 was formed after local voters passed a measure in the January 1947 election to establish a new junior college on a 243-acre site and part of the 1,300-acre deactivated Santa Ana Army Air Base.
