Welcome to the Newto News for April of 2025. My name is Zack Cockfield, and my team and I created Newtomedia as a way for visitors or new residents to get information about a city. Each month we bring together resources that will update you on the history, amenities, culture, future opportunities and all other things inside a city that make it unique. We also hope to be a resource for connecting you with people and businesses that can help you live a better life. If you find our efforts useful, please click on the links to get more information!

Anaheim, California was founded in 1857 by a group of German immigrants looking to establish a religious colony. Originally named Annaheim after the nearby Santa Ana River, the city quickly grew thanks to its fertile soil and ideal climate for agriculture. By the late 19th century, Anaheim had become a hub for citrus farming and was known for producing some of the best oranges in the state. In 1955, Anaheim gained international recognition with the opening of Disneyland, the iconic theme park created by Walt Disney. The park brought millions of visitors to the city each year and solidified Anaheim’s reputation as a major tourist destination. Today, Anaheim is a thriving city with a diverse population and a strong economy driven by industries such as tourism, healthcare, and technology. The city continues to grow and evolve while still preserving its rich agricultural and cultural heritage.
