The Anaheim tee, for the town that is the home by the Santa Ana River. A classic unisex heavy cotton t-shirt with the Anaheim vintage retro logo on the chest in white: the default Anaheim shirt, and the one most people start with.

This is the everyday Anaheim shirt: medium-weight cotton that holds up to real washing, a crewneck that fits everyone, and a logo that reads as a crest rather than a billboard. Buy it for yourself, buy a second for the person who keeps saying they want one, and it ships free in the U.S.

Our unisex heavy cotton tee pairs medium-weight jersey with a classic crewneck fit. Tubular construction and taped shoulders add durability, and the design is DTG-printed. Solid colors are 100% cotton; select heather/antique shades may use cotton–poly blends.

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.

The valley was Tongva and Acjachemen homeland long before it was anyone's vineyard, and later part of a Mexican-era rancho. The town itself begins in 1857, when a group of German families in San Francisco pooled their money as the Los Angeles Vineyard Society and sent a surveyor named George Hansen south to lay out a colony. He divided the land into fifty twenty-acre vineyard lots and fenced the whole square mile with willow poles that took root and grew into a living wall — with gates at the north, south, east, and west ends of the two main streets. That willow-gate grid is still the bones of downtown Anaheim. They named it for the river and for home.

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.
