Why Anaheim established dates differ in local lore
The Anaheim Bulletin explains that 1857 marks Anaheim’s establishment when 50 families formed the Los Angeles Vineyard Society and settled 20 acres to create the Colony District, with 1870 tied to incorporation. The city later disincorporated and reestablished in 1876, but 1857 remains the established date. It also notes the columnist Jan. 4 left a full-time role but will continue the weekly column. Factoid: 400,000 Mission grape vines planted by 1857 produced wine, rising to 1.25 million gallons by 1884.
