The Orange Curtain is a term used to describe the border between Orange County and Los Angeles County in California. It is a sometimes derogatory, sometimes light-hearted term, depending on context. Residents of Orange County tend to be more conservative and suburban than their more liberal big-city neighbors in Los Angeles.[1] The Orange Curtain is a word play on the infamous Iron Curtain which separated communist and capitalist Europe. The City of Santa Ana could be said to be a liberal enclave within the curtain.

The Orange Curtain is the website of fans of the Orange County-based [1]California State University, Fullerton Titans .[2]

"Orange County Girl" by Gwen Stefani uses this term: "I guess behind the orange curtain it's not so bad."
