About this place
Anaheim, located in Orange County, California, is best known as the home of Disneyland, one of the most famous theme parks in the world. The city also hosts NHL's Anaheim Ducks and MLB's Los Angeles Angels. Founded in 1857 by German-American families who came to grow grapes, Anaheim was a quiet rural community of orange groves until Disneyland opened in 1955, transforming it into a global tourist destination.
The tourist core centers around the Disneyland Resort property in the south-central part of the city, while the sports venues are located to the east of the resort. Anaheim stretches roughly along State Route 91 (the Riverside Freeway). With a population of around 350,000, it offers a mix of family-friendly attractions, professional sports, and convenient access to Southern California's broader attractions.
