Anaheim remained largely an agricultural community untilDisneylandopened on July 17, 1955. This led to the construction of several hotels and motels around the area, and residential districts in Anaheim soon followed. The city also developed into an industrial center, producing electronics, aircraft parts and canned fruit. Anaheim is acharter city.[7]

Toponymy
[edit]Anaheim's name is ablendofAna,after the nearbySanta Ana River,and German-heimmeaning "home", which is also a commonGermanicplace name compound (compareTrondheimin Norway andmany place namesin Germany).[8]
History
[edit]Tongva era
[edit]Tongvapeople are indigenous to Anaheim's region of Southern California. Evidence suggests their presencesince 3500 BCE.The Tongva village at Anaheim was calledHutuukuga.[9]The village has been noted as one of the largest Tongva villages throughoutTovaangar.[10][11]Native plantslikeoak treesandsagebushes were an important food source, as well as rabbit andmule deerfor meat. The village had deep trade connections with coastal villages and those further inland.[10]
Spanish and Mexican era
[edit]The area that makes up modern-day Anaheim, along withPlacentiaandFullerton,were part of theRancho San Juan Cajón de Santa Ana,a Mexican-erarancho grant,given to Juan Pacífico Ontiveros in 1837 byJuan Bautista Alvarado,thenGovernor of Alta California.Following the AmericanConquest of California,the rancho was patented to Ontiveros byPublic Land Commission.In 1857, Ontiveros sold 1,160 acres (out of his more than 35,000 acre estate) to 50 German-American families for the founding of Anaheim.
Founding
[edit]![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d0/Anaheim-1890.jpg/220px-Anaheim-1890.jpg)
The city of Anaheim was founded in 1857 by 50 German-Americans who were residents of San Francisco[12]and whose families had originated inRothenburg ob der Tauber,FranconiainBavaria.[13][14]After traveling through the state looking for a suitable area to grow grapes, the group decided to purchase a 1,165 acres (4.71 km2) parcel from Juan Pacífico Ontiveros' large Rancho San Juan Cajón de Santa Ana in present-dayOrange Countyfor $2 per acre.[12]
For $750 a share, the group formed theAnaheim Vineyard Companyheaded byGeorge Hansen.[12]Their new community was namedAnnaheim,meaning "home by the Santa Ana River" in German.[12]The name later was altered to Anaheim. To the Spanish-speaking neighbors, the settlement was known asCampo Alemán(English:German Field).
Although grape and wine-making was their primary objective, the majority of the 50 settlers were mechanics, carpenters and craftsmen with no experience in wine-making.[12]The community set aside 40 acres (16 ha) for a town center and a school was the first building erected there.[12]The first home was built in 1857, theAnaheim Gazettenewspaper was established in 1870 and a hotel in 1871. The census of 1870 reported a population of 565 for the Anaheim district.[15]For 25 years, the area was the largest wine producer in California.[12]However, in 1884, a disease infected the grape vines and by the following year the entire industry was destroyed. Other crops – walnuts, lemons and oranges – soon filled the void. Fruits and vegetables had become viable cash crops when the Los Angeles – Orange County region was connected to the continental railroad network in 1887.[16]
Helena Modjeska
[edit]Polish actressHelena Modjeskasettled in Anaheim with her husband and various friends, among themHenryk Sienkiewicz,Julian Sypniewski and Łucjan Paprocki. While living in Anaheim, Helena Modjeska became good friends with Clementine Langenberger, the second wife of August Langenberger.[17]Helena Street[18]and Clementine Street[18]are named after these two ladies, and the streets are located adjacent to each other as a symbol of the strong friendship which Helena Modjeska and Clementine Lagenberger shared. Modjeska Park[19]in West Anaheim, is also named after Helena Modjeska.
Early 20th century

During the first half of the 20th century, Anaheim was a massive rural community dominated by orangegrovesand thelandownerswho farmed them. One of the landowners was Bennett Payne Baxter, who owned much land in northeast Anaheim that today is the location of Angel Stadium.[20]He came up with many new ideas for irrigating orange groves and shared his ideas with other landowners. He was not only successful, he helped other landowners and businesspeople succeed as well. Ben Baxter and other landowners helped to make Anaheim a thriving rural community before the opening ofDisneylandtransformed the city. A street along Edison Park[20]is named Baxter Street. Also during this time,Rudolph Boysenserved as Anaheim's first Park Superintendent from 1921 to 1950. Boysen created a hybrid berry whichWalter Knottlater named theboysenberry,after Rudy Boysen. Boysen Park[21]in East Anaheim was also named after him.

In 1924,Ku Klux Klanmembers were elected to the Anaheim City Council on a platform of political reform. Up until that point, the city had been controlled by a long-standing business and civic elite that was mostlyGerman American.Given their tradition of moderate social drinking, the German Americans did not strongly supportprohibition lawsof the day. The mayor himself was a former saloon keeper. Led by the minister of the First Christian Church, the Klan represented a rising group of politically oriented non-ethnic Germans who denounced the elite as corrupt, undemocratic, and self-serving. The Klansmen aimed to create what they saw as a model, orderly community, one in which prohibition against alcohol would be strictly enforced. At the time, the KKK had about 1200 members in Orange County. The economic and occupational profile of the pro and anti-Klan groups shows the two were similar and about equally prosperous. Klan members were Protestants, as were the majority of their opponents; however, the opposition to the Klan also included manyCatholic Germans.Individuals who joined the Klan had earlier demonstrated a much higher rate of voting and civic activism than did their opponents, and many of the individuals in Orange County who joined the Klan did so out of a sense of civic activism. Upon easily winning the local Anaheim election in April 1924, the Klan representatives promptly fired city employees who were known to be Catholic and replaced them with Klan appointees. The new city council tried to enforce prohibition. After its victory, the Klan chapter held large rallies and initiation ceremonies over the summer.[22]
The opposition to the KKK's hold on Anaheim politics organized, bribed a Klansman for their secret membership list, and exposed the Klansmen running in the state primaries, defeating most of the candidates. Klan opponents in 1925 took back local government, and succeeded in a special election in recalling the Klansmen who had been elected in April 1924. The Klan in Anaheim quickly collapsed; its newspaper closed after losing a libel suit, and the minister who led the local Klavern moved to Kansas.[22]
Mid to late 20th century: Disneyland and the Anaheim Resort
[edit]Construction of theDisneylandtheme park began on July 16, 1954, and it opened to the public on July 17, 1955. It has become one of the world's most visited tourist attractions, with over 650 million visitors since its opening. The location was formerly 160 acres (0.65 km2) of orange and walnut trees. The opening of Disneyland created a tourism boom in the Anaheim area.Walt Disneyhad originally intended to purchase additional land to build accommodations for Disneyland visitors; however, the park's construction drained his financial resources and he was unable to acquire more land.Entrepreneurseager to capitalize on Disney's success moved in and built hotels, restaurants, and shops around Disneyland and eventually boxed in the Disney property, and turned the area surrounding Disneyland into the boulevards of colorfulneon signsthat Walt Disney had tried to avoid. The city of Anaheim, eager for tax revenue these hotels would generate, did little to obstruct their construction.[23]
By the mid-1960s, the city's explosive growth would attract aMajor League Baseballteam, with theCalifornia Angelsrelocating from Los Angeles to Anaheim in 1966, where they have remained since. In 1980, theNational Football League'sLos Angeles Ramsrelocated from theLos Angeles Memorial Coliseumto the Angels' home field,Anaheim Stadium,playing there until their relocation toSt. Louisin 1995. In 1993, Anaheim gained its ownNational Hockey Leagueteam whenThe Walt Disney Companyfounded theMighty Ducks of Anaheim.
In the 1990s, while Disneyland was undergoing a significant expansion project surrounding the construction ofDisney California Adventure Park,the city of Anaheim rebranded the surrounding area as the Anaheim Resort. The Anaheim Resort district is roughly bounded by theSanta Ana Riverto the east, Ball Road to the north, Walnut Street to the west, and theGarden Grovecity limits to the south at Chapman Avenue, and Orangewood Avenue to the southwest.[24]Attractions within the Resort District include theDisneyland Resort,theAnaheim Convention Center,theHonda Center,Anaheim/Orange County Walk of Stars, andAngel Stadium of Anaheim.[25]
Part of the project included removing the colorful neon signs and replacing them with shorter, more modest signs, as well as widening the arterial streets in the area into tree-lined boulevards.[26][27]
21st century
[edit]In 2001, Disney's California Adventure (renamedDisney California Adventure Parkin 2010), the most expansive project in Disneyland's history, opened to the public.[28]In 2007, Anaheim celebrated itssesquicentennial.[29]
In July 2012,political protestsby Hispanic residents occurred following thefatal shooting of two men,the first of whom was unarmed. Protesting occurred in the area between State College and East Street, and was motivated by concerns over police brutality, gang activity, domination of the city by commercial interests, and a perceived lack of political representation of Hispanic residents in the city government.[30][31][32]The protests were accompanied by looting of businesses and homes.[33][34]

Court battle against the Angels
[edit]![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a0/Angel_Stadium_of_Anaheim.jpg/220px-Angel_Stadium_of_Anaheim.jpg)
On January 3, 2005, Angels Baseball LP, the ownership group for the Anaheim Angels, announced that it would change the name of the club to the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. Team spokesmen pointed out that from its inception, the Angels had been granted territorial rights byMajor League Baseballto the counties ofLos Angeles,Ventura,Riverside,andSan Bernardinoin addition to Orange County. The new owner,Arturo Moreno,believed the name would help him market the team to the entire Southern California region rather than just Orange County. The "of Anaheim" was included in the official name to comply with a provision of the team's lease at Angel Stadium which requires that "Anaheim" be included in the team's name.
MayorCurt Pringleand other city officials countered that the name change violated the spirit of the lease clause, even if it was in technical compliance. They argued that a name change was a major bargaining chip in negotiations between the city and Disney Baseball Enterprises, Inc., then the ownership group for the Angels. They further argued that the city would never have agreed to the new lease without the name change, because the new lease required that the city partially fund the stadium's renovation, but provided very little revenue for Anaheim. Anaheim sued Angels Baseball LP in Orange CountySuperior Court,and a jurytrialwas completed in early February 2006, resulting in a victory for the Angels franchise.
Anaheim appealed the court decision with theCalifornia Court of Appealin May 2006. The case was tied up in the Appeals Court for over two years. In December 2008, the Appeals Court upheld the February 2006 Decision and ruled in favor of Angels Baseball. In January 2009, the Anaheim City Council voted not to appeal the court case any further, bringing an end to the four-year legal dispute.
