Jamboree Road

Jamboree Road

Jamboree Road is a major route through Orange County, California.

Route description

From its northern terminus in the City of Orange, at the intersection with Santiago Canyon Road (County Route S18), it proceeds south through the foothills, crossing the Loma Ridge alongside the 261 Eastern Transportation Corridor tollroad. It then enters Irvine, bisecting the Tustin Marketplace. After crossing the I-5 Santa Ana Freeway, Jamboree Road merges with the 261 and becomes a freeway, with grade-separated intersections and limited right-of-way. As a freeway, Jamboree has three exits: Walnut Avenue, Edinger Avenue, and Warner Avenue. At Barranca Parkway, its freeway portion ends and it proceeds south through Irvine and Newport Beach. Its southern terminus is at Bayside Drive, immediately before Balboa Island. It changes names, into Marine Ave., to make the very short journey over the water that separates Balboa from Newport Beach.

The current route of Jamboree Road follows the courses of four originally unconnected roads - these were, from north to south, Peters Canyon Road, Myford Road, San Joaquin Road, and the original stretch of Jamboree which extended from the present-day course of Bristol Avenue to Pacific Coast Highway.

Origin of Name

The 1953 National Scout Jamboree of the Boy Scouts of America held its event where Newport Center and Fashion Island now sit. It was the third national jamboree, the first to be held west of the Mississippi River, and had 50,000 scouts from all 50 states and 16 foreign countries. [ [http://www.ocalmanac.com/History/hi01h.htm Orange County - 1946 to 1962] ] Thousands of tents were pitched in the area accessible only by a muddy two-lane trail called Palisades Road. The road was soon paved, and later the name was changed to Jamboree Road in honor of the event.
