           Buena Park is a city located in northwestern Orange County, adjacent to the city of Anaheim. Buena Park is also home to Korean, Chinese, Filipino and Vietnamese Americans. Buena Park is noted for its Asian-themed restaurants. Many food distributions centers in Buena Park import goods from various countries in the Pacific Rim and then ship them to Asian supermarkets across California.

Buena Park was founded by James A. Whitaker, a wholesale grocer from Chicago in 1887 (hence, the city was named after Buena Park, Illinois) and incorporated in 1953. An agricultural center at its founding, particularly dairy, wine and citrus products, the city is now primarily a residential suburb.           In recent decades, the city became a popular real estate choice for African Americans, Asian Americans and Hispanic Americans. A special shopping area known as "Indian Village" was established in Buena Park in the 1980s by East Indian shop owners; this area is similar to Little India in nearby Artesia. Recent increases of home prices threaten to drive middle-class and minority homebuyers from the market.
	Buena Park is home to one of the 13 special district libraries in the State of California. The community's library holds over 125,000 library materials from books to music CD's, magazines to movies, and provides a number of free public programs for all ages every week. It has free Internet service, and free library cards to all California residents. Its support group, the Volunteer Guild of the Buena Park Library, runs a bookstore and sells gently used materials. The bookstore is located on the Library's second floor.         The city is served by seven different school districts. Buena Park School District covers nearly the entire northern half of the city, which feeds into the Fullerton Joint Union High School District. Centralia, Cypress, Magnolia and Savanna School Districts carve the remaining southern half of the city, feeding into the Anaheim Union High School District. Buena Park High School is the only high school within city limits. Kennedy, Savanna, Sunny Hills and Western High Schools also all serve the city's students, but are in either Fullerton, La Palma or Anaheim.          California State University of Fullerton, which is a 10-minute drive away are close for those who wish to attain a degree in higher education.
Buena Park's E-Zone district located along Beach Boulevard is home to several well-known tourist destinations:  -Knott's Berry Farm theme park  -Knott's Soak City water park    -Pirate's Dinner Adventure Show -Medieval Times dinner show -Ripley's Believe it or Not! museum            The E-Zone also neighbors Anaheim, with Disneyland just east by way of Katella Avenue, Ball Road, and Interstate 5.
