In 1920, a guy named Walter Knott showed up in Buena Park, California, and began growing berries on a 10-acre parcel of land. At that time, good ole Walter had no idea that he was starting something big. His little roadside berry stand evolved first into a dinner restaurant and next into a quaint ghost town to entertain the guests. Such were the humble beginnings of Knott's Berry Farm, a world-class destination and one of Southern California's favorite theme parks.
