Do they actually, like, grow oranges in orange county? Or is there a less obvious reason for the name? :D

You got it. Orange county several years ago used to be covered with oranges. Now there are a million houses that nobody can afford taking up every inch of available land. A lot of people do still have orange trees in their yards though.
