Anaheim grew from grapes to a citrus and city hub
Anaheim began as a German grape colony in 1857 within Los Angeles County. Leafhopper and disease devastated vineyards in the late 1800s to mid-1900s, giving way to citrus groves, packing houses, and later Disneyland and Angel Stadium. Mayor Tom Tait extols a diverse, dynamic city of 350,000.
