Coincidentally ,the fastest growing and quickest disappearing large development in the US sprung up on the Irvine Ranch in 1953. Overnight the empty cattle grazing area became a city of over 50,00 young people -almost all under 19 yrs old males. Less than two weeks later the site was complete vacant again.

I know this for a fact as I was one of the Scouts attending the 1953 National Jamboree
