About Anaheim California
Anaheim is a city in Orange County California. Anaheim is a major hot spot for vacations and big events. It is known for its theme parks (Disney Land), sports teams (Angels and Ducks) and convention center. The convention centers host events from car shows to trade shows.

Founded by fifty German families in 1857 and incorporated on February 10, 1870, Anaheim developed into an industrial center, producing electronics, aircraft parts, and canned fruit. It is the site of the Disneyland Resort, a world-famous grouping of theme parks, Angel Stadium and The Anaheim Convention Center. Its name is a blend of Ana, after the nearby Santa Ana River, and heim, a common Upper German place name compound originally meaning home.

In the western portion of the city (not including Anaheim Hills), the major surface streets run east to west, starting with the northernmost, are La Palma Avenue, Lincoln Avenue, Ball Road, and Katella Avenue. The major surface streets running north-south, starting with the westernmost, are Beach Boulevard (CA-39), Magnolia Avenue, Brookhurst Street, Euclid Street, Harbor Boulevard, Anaheim Boulevard, and State College Boulevard.

The freeways that pass through Anaheim are the Santa Ana Freeway (I-5), the Orange Freeway (CA-57), the Riverside Freeway (CA-91). The Costa Mesa Freeway (CA-55), and the Eastern Transportation Corridor (CA-241) also have short stretches within the city limits.
