Buena Park, California. In 1885, James A. Whitaker, a wholesale grocer from Chicago, bought 690 acres of the Stearns Rancho. Whitaker intended to create a cattle ranch, but Santa Fe Railway officials convinced him to use the land for a new town. Whitaker filed his township to create the town of Buena Park. The city was not incorporated until 1953.

Buena Park first became known as a dairy center, and both the Sante Fe and Southern Pacific railroads built depots. The Lily Creamery started operations in 1889. The creamery was the first industry in the city.

Today, the City's main claim to fame is as the home of the popular Entertainment Zone. Located on Beach Boulevard the E-Zone is home to such attractions as Knott's Berry Farm, Medieval Times Dinner and Tournament, Movieland Wax Museum, Ripley's "Believe It or Not" Museum, and Knott's Soak City U.S.A.
