History

The first settlers came to Orangedale in 1906 when a ranch named Wangeman was divided, and the fertile soil was good enough to use for planting orange trees and other fruits. Most of them came from the Northeastern United States. It was named Orangedale as a result of its abundance of oranges. Friendship Baptist Church was built in 1906 and eventually gained a store and a gas station. There was only one business and several scattered homes in Orangedale in 1948. The church and several houses remained in Orangedale in 1990 and had a population of 35 in 2000. [2]
