History:
Orland incorporated in 1909. The first post office in Orland opened in 1916.
In 1908 Orland was the namesake of one of the first irrigation projects of the newly formed United States Bureau of Reclamation, the Orland Project, authorized by the Newlands Reclamation Act. The 1910 East Park Dam and other area dams still provide agricultural irrigation water.
During World War II, Orland was selected by the United States Army as the location for an airfield that was used for training pilots. Aircraft used at Orland included the Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress. Scenes for several films used for training pilots and aircrew members were produced at Orland. Constructed of a large square of thick, reinforced concrete, most of the airfield is now a civil airport operated by Glenn County. Until 1982, Amtrak's Coast Starlight from Los Angeles to Seattle stopped here.
In 2017 the City Council affiliated the city with Bee City USA and declared itself "Queen Bee Capital of North America" due to the unmatched production of queen bees by locally owned commercial apiaries.
