The Valencia orange is a sweet orange.
Its name comes from the city of Valencia, Spain, known through history for its sweet orange trees, originally from India. The patented orange hybrid was later sold by William Wolfskill to the Irvine Ranch owners, who would plant nearly half of their lands to its cultivation. The success of this crop in Southern California led to the naming of Valencia, California.

After bloom, it usually carries two crops on the tree, the old and the new. The commercial harvest season in Florida runs from March to June.
