History

Orland incorporated in 1909.<ref name=CGN /> The first post office in Orland opened in 1916.<ref name=CGN />

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.

Orland station was a stop along the Southern Pacific railroad's West Valley Line, now known as the California Northern Railroad.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> The Amtrak Coast Starlight route, running daily from Los Angeles to Seattle,<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> served the town from 1974 to 1982.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
