    Naming Anaheim

    How’d Anaheim get its name?

    I would assume a lot of people when they hear Anaheim, think of Disneyland even though there is a lot more to Anaheim including Angel Stadium, The packing district, Adventure city and the Anaheim Convention Center. I think the draw and awareness fo Disneyland also has some visitors assuming most of the city is centered around the Disneyland resort. Growing up i went to Disneyland a lot and I think i thought it was just in LA, or maybe in Southern California, I didn't learn about Anaheim until I started driving there, in fact I wonder if my kids, who’ve. been a bunch, know what city Disneyland is in. Well, in this episode we uncover how Anaheim was founded and named.
