Anaheim

“Home by the Santa Anna River”

The City of Anaheim

Anaheim is located in Orange County, California, approximately 25 miles south east of downtown Los Angeles, and is known for its theme parks, sports teams and convention center.

Founded in 1857 by grape farmers and wine makers from Bavaria, the city’s name was originally spelled “Annaheim.” “Anna” was taken from the nearby Santa Ana River, a vital part of the early settlers and farmers life and named for Saint Anne by Spanish explorers. The word “Heim” is the German word for home, so the name meant “home by the Santa Ana River.” Today, the second “n” is dropped, blending Spanish (Ana) with German (heim).

Anaheim’s average daytime temperature is 75 degrees and most days are sunny. It ranks as one of the safest cities of its size in the nation.

Anaheim’s popular attractions include:

• Adventure City
