District was recognized as an area having significant historic, architectural, cultural, and aesthetic value to the city. The area roughly reflects the initial Anaheim colony settlement." "The initial settlement was roughly 1,200 acres and would be bound by today’s North, South, East, and West Streets. Our modern day downtown is located on that original plot and from there, the rest of the city’s historic neighborhoods and other development would spread."

2. Meet Our Neighborhoods: Anaheim Colony.

"Of the city’s four historic districts, the Anaheim Colony is the largest and first to be adopted in 1997. Wonder why it’s called the Colony? It’s boundaries match that of the original German colony founded in 1857. With over 1,000 qualified structures located inside the 1.8-square miles, the concentration is higher than the other districts. The four Anaheim Colony Monuments mark the entry points to the district."
