The Anaheim cap, for the town that is the home by the Santa Ana River. An unstructured cotton dad cap with the Anaheim vintage retro logo embroidered on the front in black thread.

The cap is the easiest Anaheim piece to wear every day and the easiest to give: one size, breathable cotton, a curved visor and an antique-brass buckle. It softens with wear and stays on the hook by the door. Order one for the beach bag and one for the glovebox.

Our unisex embroidered dad cap pairs a low-profile, unstructured 6-panel fit with a Permacurv visor and durable four-row visor stitching. Made from breathable cotton with a matching undervisor and a self-fabric hideaway strap with antique-brass buckle. All colors are 100% cotton (camo: 65% polyester / 35% cotton). The classic embroidered finish is durable and vintage-inspired; because embroidery uses thread rather than ink, slight differences from the digital product image are normal. Full details are explained in our Embroidery footer.

In 1857 fifty German families of the Los Angeles Vineyard Society fenced a square of valley with living willow poles beside the Santa Ana River, named it Anaheim, home by the river, and planted what became the largest vineyard in California. The 1857 Mother Colony House is the oldest wood-frame building in Orange County.

It incorporated in 1870, disincorporated in 1872 over taxes and came back in 1876. When Pierce’s disease killed the vines in the 1880s, the colony replanted and became the Valencia orange capital of the nation; the railroad arrived in 1887, and the original street grid still marks the willow-gate colony. The German vineyard town is the mark on this piece.

All Anaheim California Items

Before any of the famous stuff, there was a vineyard. In 1857 fifty German families stepped off a wagon road, fenced a square mile with living willow poles, and planted the biggest vineyard in California — naming their square of valley Anaheim: "Ana" for the Santa Ana River, "heim" for home. Home by the river. When a blight took the grapes they planted oranges and made the place the Valencia capital of the nation. The Mother Colony House still stands. This is the orange-grove California underneath it all — and this page tells that story.

A few good stories survive from the colony years. The Mother Colony House — the home George Hansen built in 1857, now the oldest wood-framed building in Orange County and a museum since 1929 — once counted among its residents the celebrated actress Helena Modjeska and the author Henryk Sienkiewicz, who would go on to write "Quo Vadis." And the city's name lives on in an unexpected place: the Anaheim pepper, the mild green chili first grown commercially in this valley, still carries the town's name on grocery shelves across the country. Vines, oranges, a willow-fenced colony, and a pepper — that's a lot of identity for one valley to hold.
