About Buena Park
Buena Park is home to Orange County's other theme
park: Knott's Berry Farm. The amusement park was originally devised
as a distraction for customers waiting for Cordelia Knott's chicken
dinners (a side project developed from the family's first berry
stand). Today, Knott's Berry Farm is the largest source of revenue
for the city. Buena Park was first urbanized by a grocer from
Chicago in the late 1800's, but didn't become a city until 1953.
It was originally a dairy center, but today hosts attractions
such as Medieval Times and Movieland Wax Museum.
