Anaheim
Founded
in 1857 for the sole purpose of cultivating the area for vineyards,
this city used to be the wine capital of the world. Shortly
thereafter, a guy by the name of Walt Disney would ultimately change
the face of Anaheim forever. Soon after his successful launch of his
movie studio in Hollywood, Disney set his sights on opening an
amusement park. When it opened its doors in 1955, Disneyland attracted
one million guests within the first six months. The rest is history.
Positioned 28 miles southeast
of Los Angeles, Anaheim is home for over 342,000 and is the most
populated city in all of Orange County. Known as the home of the river
because of its close proximity to the Santa Ana River, Anaheim might be
better known for its three lakes. The Santa Ana River Lakes cover 135
acres, and offer bass, catfish, crappie, and trout to the general
public. The county park offers boats, rods and reels for rent, as well
as two picnic areas and a concession stand for food and bait.
Anaheim is also home of some
of the best public golf courses in the United States. Golfers travel
from all over the country to play Anaheim Hills Golf Course, and H.G.
“Dad” Miller Golf course, designed by the renowned “Dad” Miller. These
courses are very well maintained and affordable.
The Arrowhead Pond of Anaheim
is a 19,000 seat arena, and home to one of the National Hockey League's
most prolific hockey teams. Nicknamed “the pond” by locals, the venue,
opened in 1993, is also host to concerts and basketball games.
Separated by a few hundred yards is the home of the Anaheim Angels.
Edison International Field, home to one of major league baseball's most
storied franchises, is a great place for the family to enjoy an
affordable day at the ballpark.
Quite possibly Southern
California's most preferred attraction, Disneyland allows the
imagination to run free and allows real life fairy tales a chance to
come true. Disneyland offers a wide variety of theme parks, a water
park, shows, dining, shopping, and tours. Those who wish to stay within
the resort's limits have their choice of four different hotels:
Disneyland Resort Good Neighbor Hotels, Disney's Paradise Pier Hotel,
Disneyland Hotel, and Disney's Grand Californian Hotel and Spa. Those
not wishing to spend their evenings within resort limits have a
plethora of hotels to choose from outside of the resort.
Anaheim is also home to some
of the most abundant shopping centers in all of Orange County. The
Anaheim Indoor Marketplace is billed as Orange County's “largest indoor
swap meet,” and offers a wide variety of small shops that host almost
every conceivable form of merchandise on the market. Hobby
City/Adventure City sits on six acres of hobby and collectible shops,
and provides hobbyists with an array of diverse shops. Lincoln Antique
Mall has 125 dealers with antique furnishing, artwork, and jewelry.
