About this School
The University of California, Irvine is a public university situated in suburban Irvine, California. It is one of ten University of California campuses and is commonly known as UCI or UC Irvine. UC Irvine is named after the Irvine Company, which donated 1,000 acres (4 km²) and sold another 500 acres (2 km²) to the University of California in 1959. Together, the University of California and the Irvine Company planned out a city around the campus, which was later incorporated as the city of Irvine in 1971.
 
History
During the 1950s, the University of California saw the need for new campuses to handle both the large number of college-bound World War II veterans (largely due to the G. I. Bill) and the expected increase in enrollment from the post-war baby boom. One of the new campuses was to be in the Los Angeles area; the location selected was Irvine Ranch, an area of land bisecting Orange County from north to south. The Irvine Company donated one thousand acres of Irvine Ranch for the new campus, and the University purchased an additional 510 acres. Irvine was one of three new campuses established in the 1960s under the California Master Plan for Higher Education, the others being San Diego and Santa Cruz.
