THE HISTORY OF ORTEGA HIGHWAY
The route of Ortega Highway follows a Native American trail leading from the
Capistrano Valley to San Juan Hot Springs (Agua Caliente) located
approximately 13 miles east of here. The original dirt foot path served as a
trading route following the edge of San Juan Creek from the valley tribal
village areas and over the Santa Ana mountains. The Acjachemen Indians
traded regularly with the inland tribes. The path was explored by Sergeant
Jose Francisco Ortega in 1769, for whom it was later named. The
Acjachemen Indians showed Franciscan Missionaries the hot springs after
the founding of the San Juan Capistrano Mission in 1776. The road
eventually became known as Hot Springs Road and was widely used by
padres and visitors to the therapeutic waters of the hot springs. At the height
of the Great Depression, Highway 74 was constructed and completed along
this route in 1933 and was used for transporting harvested crops from the
railroad for distribution. Thousands use this majestic route daily.
