History:
Anaheim is a city in Orange County, California, part of the
Los Angeles metropolitan area. As of the 2010 United States
Census, the city had a population of 336,265, making it the
most populous city in Orange County and the 10th-most populous
city in California
Anaheim is the second-largest city in Orange County in terms
of land area, and is known for being the home of the Disneyland
Resort, the Anaheim Convention Center, and two major sports
teams: the Anaheim Ducks ice hockey club and the Los Angeles
Angels baseball team.
Anaheim was founded by fifty German families in 1857 and incorporated
as the second city in Los Angeles County on March 18, 1876;
Orange County would later be split off from Los Angeles County
in 1889. Anaheim remained largely
an agricultural community until Disneyland opened in 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 a charter city
