What occupation did the early settlers of the city of Anaheim engage in
Wineries were the earliest settlers' main business as the region was found optimally fertile for grape agriculture. The moderate climate made the settlers from Franconia and Bavaria invest in this region with their wine farming skills which lasted till the Spanish disputes brought a slump in the wine business.
The population of Anaheim is recorded to have been 881 in 1876. Citrus fruits - for which California gets its 'golden' tag, was a major business since the early days of Anaheim. Soon connections with the eastern parts were established and business was made easier to flourish to great extents.
