{{anchor|Honeybee Discovery Center}}
A member of [[Bee City USA]], Orland is the "Queen Bee Capital of North America" owing to its robust local and regional [[queen bee]] production as part of the county's agricultural products. It is home of the '''Honeybee Discovery Center''' museum.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.honeybeediscoverycenter.org/ |title=Honeybee Discovery Center |access-date=February 23, 2023}}</ref>  Annual events include the Queen Bee Festival in June and OktoBEEfest in October.

== 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 Transportation Company|Southern Pacific]] railroad's West Valley Line, now known as the [[California Northern Railroad]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Time Tables |date= January 15, 1954|url=http://streamlinermemories.info/SP/SP54TT.pdf |publisher=Southern Pacific |access-date=June 5, 2020}}</ref> The [[Amtrak]] ''[[Coast Starlight]]'' route, running daily from [[Los Angeles]] to [[Seattle]],<ref>{{cite web |date=October 25, 1981 | page=50 |url=http://www.timetables.org/full.php?group=19811025&item=0051 |title=Amtrak National Train Timetables |website=The Museum of Railway Timetables |publisher=Amtrak |access-date=May 23, 2020}}</ref> served the town from 1974 to 1982.<ref>{{cite web |date=April 25, 1982 |page=46 |website=The Museum of Railway Timetables |publisher=Amtrak |url=http://www.timetables.org/full.php?group=19820425&item=0047|title=1982 Amtrak Coast Starlight timetable|access-date=May 23, 2020}}</ref>

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.

== Geography ==
According to the [[United States Census Bureau]], the city has a total area of {{convert|3.0|sqmi|km2}}, all of it land.

Orland is a rural agricultural town that sits in the northern [[Sacramento Valley]]. [[Interstate 5]] is just west of the town.

The Sacramento River runs {{convert|10|mi|km}} East of Orland and Black Butte Lake sits {{convert|8|mi|km}} West. The [[Black Butte Lake]] dam drains into Stony Creek, which flows about a half-mile north of the [[Orland Arch]].
