Back To Tourist place in CaliforniaHistory of Anaheim
Until about thirty years ago Anaheim was a rather unremarkable, sleepy place in the slowly developing Orange County, which takes in a 40mi/64km stretch of coastline, and reaches almost 25mi/40km inland. It was founded in the year 1857 by German immigrants. The name is derived from the river Santa Ana and the German word "Heim" (hom ).
The cultivation of citrus fruits, especially oranges, proved so successful that this stretch of country became one of the most important orange-growing regions in the USA. So it is not surprising that the county founded in 1889 - an offshoot of Los Angeles County - should be named "Orange County". However, Santa Ana was nominated as the capital of the area, not little Anaheim. In the year 1876 Anaheim attracted a group of Polish intellectuals, whose intention was to found here one of the many "Utopian Communities" found in the United States in the 19th century. The writer Henryk Sienkiewicz (later a Nobel Prizewinner for his novel "Quo Vadis") and the actress Helena Modjeska and her husband were at the head of the group. However, their dreams quickly vanished; only two years later the author returned to his homeland. Modjeska remained, however, and started a successful theater career (there is even a town in Orange County which bears her name). Adventure City is the little theme park that’s big on family fun!
