The Anaheim baby bodysuit, for the town that is the home by the Santa Ana River. Soft fine jersey with the Anaheim vintage retro logo on the front in black, newborn to 24 months.

This is the new-baby gift from the hometown: light, soft, with a snap crotch that makes changes easy and a logo the parents will photograph. Order it as soon as the news arrives; it is the Anaheim piece most often bought for someone else.

Our unisex infant bodysuit pairs light 4.5 oz (153 g/m²) fine jersey with ribbed binding, side seams, and a secure snap crotch for easy changes. It's soft and breathable, in 100% combed ringspun cotton for solid colors and a cotton–polyester blend for heather shades.

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.

Our Anaheim logo carries California's bear and star over "1850," the year of statehood and the shared emblem of every Merlin Classics California place. The bear and the lone star are the state in shorthand — independence, the Republic, the frontier — printed black-and-white with the worn look of an old crate label, a WPA poster, a piece of farm signage. What makes this one Anaheim is the place behind it: the German wine colony, the willow gates, the Valencia groves, the home by the river. On a tee or a cap it reads like a piece of orange-grove California — Est. 1850 on the emblem, with an 1857 colony story underneath.

For a generation it worked beautifully. Anaheim's vineyards became the largest in California and its wine shipped across the country — for nearly twenty-five years this was the state's leading wine district. Then, in the 1880s, a mysterious blight now known as Pierce's Disease moved through the vines and killed them by the hundreds of thousands. By the late 1880s the vineyards were beyond saving. It could have been the end of the colony. Instead the growers pulled out the dead vines and planted citrus — and Anaheim reinvented itself as the Valencia Orange capital of the nation, its crate labels carrying the town's name to fruit stands all over the country.
