Anaheim

Anaheim California is thirty miles east of Los Angeles. The tenth largest city in California, and home to the Disneyland Resort and Disney's California Adventure, Anaheim is a well-known city.

Anaheim is the Orange County city where Walt Disney opened his Disneyland in 1955 on 160 acres of orange groves and transformed it into the most visited theme park on earth. The original Disneyland remains on that same site. The Angels play baseball next door. The Ducks play hockey across the street. Anaheim is unapologetically a destination built around a single idea.
