Trabuco Canyon, Census-designated place in Orange County, United States.
Trabuco Canyon spans 7.28 square miles within the Santa Ana Mountains foothills, featuring narrow roads leading through undeveloped natural landscapes in eastern Orange County.
The name originated in 1769 when a Franciscan friar from the Gaspar de Portola expedition lost his blunderbuss, known as trabuco in Spanish, in the area.
The Ramakrishna Mission Monastery occupies 40 acres in the canyon, operating a shrine trail that honors multiple religions through various monuments and paths.
The community contains essential establishments like the Trabuco General Store, which provides groceries and hosts regular community events throughout the calendar year.
The area preserves remnants of early 1900s tin mining operations, including stone foundations, abandoned tunnels, and multiple dams along the creek system.
