Context

While the Orinda Sun newspapers primarily reported on local area news, it would sometimes cover national, California or Contra Costa County stories as well. Despite the Orinda Sun's main focus being Orinda, it would often cover greater Lamorinda area(Lafayette, Moraga & Orinda) topics like: local development projects, schools, politics, crime, social events, want ads, obituaries, wedding & birth announcement and ads for local establishments. These newspapers reflect the culture of the people who settled and lived in Orinda, California and the surrounding communities in the 1950s.
