The zip code 92705 now has three names recognized by the US Postal Service. North Tustin, Cowan Heights and Santa Ana. Residents can chose the name that best fits with their need. This was a successful FCA 2004 iniative.

It is official. The US Postal service has agreed to the use of the name "North Tustin" for those residences in the unincorporated area with zip code 92705. The name "Santa Ana" can also be used. For those residences in Cowan Heights, "Cowan Heights" is also an acceptable name. Many thanks to Supervisor Bill Campbell and then Representative Chris Cox for helping to make this happen.

Comment from Rick Nelson
I had a dialog with Bill Bangert, a current director and a past President of FCA, about the name change. Bill notes:
Name Change - what's the big deal.
The indians called the Red Hill area "KATUKTU", meaning a place of refuge.
How about CERRETO de Las RANNAS or "Hill of the Frogs" [Nelson note - frogs were very numerous here for at least hundreds of years until the concrete drainage channels were installed]. Bill observes that the big change is noisy people have replace the noisy frogs.
The early Mexicans called RED HILL "CERRO COLORADO"
NAME CHANGE - It's nothing new.
