Download or read book Early Amusement Parks of Orange County written by Richard Harris and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2008 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Orange County coast had its Joy Zone and its Fun Zone in the early decades of the 20th century. Knott's Berry Farm sprouted from a simple berry stand in Buena Park. The spot that would become Walt Disney's theme-park empire began as a citrus grove in Anaheim. Before long, Orange County was recognized as the nurturing ground for the growing amusement park industry. This book concerns the early history of such parks in the county east and south of Los Angeles, before high-tech digitization, when custom cars, enormous alligators, stunt planes, dolphin leaps, and movie stars' wax likenesses thrilled patrons. Some amusement parks have come and gone over a century of development, and some are still here, changing with the times to create new adventure and excitement for park goers.

Download or read book Early Placentia written by Jeanette Gardner and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2007 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today Placentia is part of the vast suburban Orange County sprawl that extends eastward from Los Angeles into Southern California's "Inland Empire." This landscape of homes and shopping centers was a windswept wilderness until a Mexican land grant helped transform it into ranches that dry-farmed hay and irrigated fruits and vegetables. The arrival of the Valencia orange and the discovery of oil reshaped the future of Placentia again as groves and derricks covered the land in the first half of the 20th century. The railroad also arrived, followed by more oil discovery to the east and the coming of laborers of Mexican heritage, who formed a community to the south. Schools, churches, and civic buildings remained ancillary to the predominantly agrarian society and economy that existed through the World War II era.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Anaheim, Southern California: Its History, Climate, Soil and Advantages for Home Seekers and Settlers One of the peculiarities of the climate cf Anaheim, in common with other points on the coast, is the gray mornings. To a Visitor from the East dur ing the summer months it would seem surely the day will be a rainy one, but after a short experience they will becpme accustomed to an obscured sunrise and about nine or ten o'clock a breaking awav of the cloud) curtain which had appeared so threatening, proving to be what is known as a high fog which, rising from the ocean, floats quietly inland about midnight, seldom. Touching the earth but hanging suspended afew hundred feet above it, temper ing the rays of the sun in the early morning. Then the seabreeze comes across the plain and adds its coolness and freshness to the air until becoming heated by contact with the warm earth of the interior it rises and, carrying with it the fogbank broken into fleecy masses, carries it back a flying squadron of the ships of the air to its native ocean, after which the clear, blue sky is unbroken by a single cloud except, perhaps, away off over the ocean or just above the snowy peaks of the Sierra Madre; but until four or five o'clock the seabreeze continues to blow a cool, inwgorating blast which grad ualiy dies away toward sunset and the still evening air - almost dewless-is so quiet that a lighted candle can be carried about the garden with little dan ger of being blown out. In the fall the seabreeze generally ceases to blow regularly, and the sun rises clear and warm, so that frequently our warmest weather is during the autumn months, but the temperature seldom reaches a higher point than 90 and is hardly ever above 75 at night and generally drops to about 60 toward morning. The winter average will be about 20 below these figures, and very uniformly so, though the' summer average will not be over 80 for the day. A peculiarity of this dry climate is that a like temperature by thermometer does not indicate a like feeling of discomfort as at an Eastern point. Close oh servers have made a difference of 10 to 15 in the temperature to be neces sary tolike unpleasant results. In a residence of nine years in Anaheim the writer has found it uncomfortable to sleep under a blanket but three nights, and woolen clothes are worn always. Our spring commences about 1st of January with the temperature and characteristics of an Eastern May which lasts until about April lst, when we have another three months corresponding with an Eastern June. Then three months of July followed by three months of September, much of the latter being very similar to the Indian summer.
