Everything about Jamboree Road totally explained
Jamboree Road is a major route through
Orange County, California.
Route
From its northern terminus in the
City of Orange, at the intersection with
Santiago Canyon Road, 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.
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. 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.
