The first grove of Valencia orange trees in California was planted in 1880 by R.H. Gilman on land which then belonged to the Placentia Fruit Company, and which now is part of California State University Fullerton. The Native Daughters of the Golden West placed a historical plaque on the site in 1934, which stated that "the trees are still in flourishing condition." However, it appears that younger Valencia trees have been planted to take their place. The structure in the background is CSUF's Humanities Building.

Phil Brigandi has updated the history of early Knott's Berry Farm on his website, changing the focus of the piece. "It's so easy to talk about all the things that have changed at Knott's Berry Farm," he writes, "but I thought it would be interesting to talk about some of the things that are still there -- and maybe get people looking around a little more while they're waiting in line for the next 'thrill' ride." Accordingly, Phil also provides links to "before and after" photos of many of Knott's early attractions.
