PIONEERS: Little Saigon, spanning the Westminster-Garden Grove boundary, actually started in Santa Ana on 1st Street near Sullivan Street. . . . The groups of new immigrants congregating at the nearby welfare office inspired the opening of a Vietnamese soup noodle restaurant in 1975, and it soon became a meeting place for refugees. . . . By 1978, 12 Vietnamese businesses had opened in Orange County. Today there are more than 800.
