Lake Forest is a city in Orange County, California, United States.
The population was 78,243 as of 2007.
With 6,274 people per square mile, it is the most densely populated city in South County to this day.
Lake Forest incorporated as a new city on December 20, 1991. Residents voted to name the city Lake Forest,
after two expensive master planned residential communities, denying the longer claim to the territory by
the community of El Toro.
Since being founded, it has expanded its limits to include the newer communities of Foothill Ranch
and Portola Hills.
The multiplicity of names often creates confusion: some people in the Portola Hills neighborhood,
for example, can receive mail addressed to them at Portola Hills, Lake Forest, or Trabuco Canyon.
Lake Forest (along with its neighboring cities Mission Viejo and Irvine) is ranked as one of the
safest cities in the country. The private research firm Morgan Quitno ranked Lake Forest as the
15th safest city and another firm later ranked Lake Forest 10th in 2007 in the United States.
