Lake Forest, a city in Orange County, California, was incorporated on December 20, 1991. Prior to incorporation, the name of the community was El Toro. Following a vote in 2000, the municipal borders of Lake Forest were enlarged to include the master-planned communities of Foothill Ranch and Portola Hills. This development brought additional residences and commercial districts to the northeastern city limit.

Lake Forest derives its name from the city’s 2 man-made lakes, Lake Forest Beach and Tennis Club and the Sun and Sail Club. Their coastlines are lined with condominiums and custom homes varying in size from large to modest. Each complex has basketball courts, volleyball courts, tennis courts, several swimming pools, saunas, fitness centers, hot tubs, BBQ pits, and clubhouses for social gatherings.
The “forest” area of the city is located between Ridge Route, Jeronimo, Lake Forest, and Serrano roads, and is predominantly composed of Eucalyptus trees. It was established when a local landowner, Dwight Whiting, planted a clump of Eucalyptus trees on 400 acres (1.6 km2) in the neighborhood of Serrano Creek as part of a timber operation designed to attract development.
