History
Buena Park was founded in 1887 by James Whitaker, who named the community after his home in Buena Park, Illinois.
Knott's Berry Farm began as a roadside berry stand in 1920, growing into America's first theme park as Walter Knott added attractions to entertain visitors.
The city incorporated in 1953, developing rapidly during the post-war suburban boom that transformed Orange County.
