Jamboree Road is one of the major thoroughfares in Orange County, running from just west of Irvine Lake, all the way south to Pacific Coast Highway.
But it used to be just a gravel road running from the Irvine Ranch Boy Scout Troop 36 Clubhouse, near Irvine Boulevard and Myford Road, down to Newport Beach, about 8 miles of road. It was created in 1953, in preparation for the third National Boy Scout Jamboree held July 17-23, 1953.
The Jamboree was the first ever held west of Mississippi River. It was a big event for Orange County, perhaps one of the key events putting Orange County on the map.
The site of the Jamboree is located where today's Newport Center and Eastbluff communities in Newport Beach now stand.

Zorvall, you got it.
It was 1953. The boy scouts jamboree was held on a site that is now Fashion Island. There's a plaque commemorating the site at the south side of the mall, adjacent to an outdoor escalator. [Edit: As Cameray posted, the site was much larger than just Fashion Island]
A road was built from the train station to the jamboree site. The road is now called Jamboree.<img src="http://www.firstam.com/HistoryOC/images/photos/irvine-3-m.jpg" alt="" />
