Orange County Almanac
As Anaheim grew in the late 19th Century, leaders looked for a nearby port to facilitate commerce.
They settled on Anaheim Landing, between Seal Beach and Sunset Beach at the mouth of Anaheim Bay.
At its zenith in the 1860s, the landing included warehouses and a wharf where a variety of products from wine to wool were shipped, according to the book “Historic Place Names of Orange County.”
The extension of the Southern Pacific Railroad into Anaheim in the 1870s lessened the need for the landing, which subsequently declined.
Today the landing is part of the Seal Beach Naval Weapons Station.
