Westminster

Westminster is an administrative division in Orange County, California that includes multiple neighborhoods with residential and commercial areas connected by community parks and public spaces. The city features a mixed-use layout with zones supporting daily activities and local services.

The area was originally farmland before transforming into a suburban community after its incorporation in 1957. This shift marked a turning point in the region's development and growth trajectory.

The community celebrates Lunar New Year with traditional Vietnamese performances and cultural events that reflect the strong presence of Asian-American residents. These observances shape the local character and bring people together throughout the year.

The Community Services Department operates several recreational facilities and organizes year-round programs for residents of all age groups. Visitors can easily find accessible parks and community spaces throughout the area to explore at their own pace.

The city operates under a Council-Manager system where elected officials set policy while professional administrators handle the day-to-day operations. This approach separates political decision-making from administrative implementation.
