Rooted in the early 1970s when Korean immigrants first began establishing themselves in Orange County, the Korean American Federation of Orange County represents a thriving community built on shared purpose and collective effort. The organization was formally established in 1979 through a founding general meeting centered on community members committed to supporting one another through the challenges of immigration and cultural adaptation. What began as a Garden Grove-centered initiative has blossomed into a vibrant network extending across Fullerton and Irvine, reflecting the growth and stability achieved through decades of dedication by Korean-American families. The federation serves as a cultural bridge, hosting signature events like Korea-U.S. Friendship Night that foster meaningful connections between Korean-Americans and the broader Orange County community. Today, the organization stands as a representative voice for Korean-Americans in the region, working to develop the community, support individual rights, and strengthen relationships with other ethnic and cultural groups. By combining traditional values with contemporary community needs, the federation continues its mission to contribute to cultural exchange, promote sound community development, and ensure that Korean-Americans in Garden Grove, CA and throughout Orange County have access to the resources and connections they need to thrive.
