Anaheim was incorporated as a City in 1876.

Since its founding in 1857, the City of Anaheim has grown from its original 1.8 square-mile townsite west of the Santa Ana River to its current boundary of approximately 50 square miles—the 10 largest city in the State. Originally a small farming community of German immigrants, Anaheim has always been a community that embraced immigrants from around the world in pursuit of "The American Dream."

Neighborhoods

Anaheim as described in 1939 [1]

Anaheim is the second oldest California town founded as an experiment in communal living. German settlers arrived in 1857. The name is a union of "Ana," from Santa Ana River, with the German word for home. In the City Park, bounded by Lemon, Palm, Cypress and Sycamore Streets, is a Greek theater.
