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 railroad's West Valley Line, now known as the California Northern Railroad.[6] The Amtrak Coast Starlight route, running daily from Los Angeles to Seattle,[7] served the town from 1974 to 1982.[8]
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.
