Anaheim Packing District
The Anaheim Packing District is a downtown food hall and shopping destination built within a historic 1919 citrus packing house, now one of Orange County's few remaining packing houses.
The building at the heart of the Anaheim Packing District was constructed in 1919 as a Spanish Colonial Revival structure to serve as a citrus packing house for the Anaheim Orange and Lemon Association and Sunkist. For nearly a century it operated as a working facility where citrus grown in Orange County was packed and prepared for shipment. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2015, recognizing its significance as one of the few remaining packing houses in the county.
In 2014, the historic packing house was restored and reopened as the Anaheim Packing House, a 42,000-square-foot gourmet food hall featuring independent vendors, restaurants, and artisan food producers. The renovation preserved the original facade and character of the building while transforming the interior into a modern public gathering space. The Packing District expanded to include the neighboring 1925 Packard Building and a farmer's market, creating a unified downtown destination that draws residents and visitors to the area.
The Packing District represents Anaheim's evolution and the continuity of community gathering places across generations. When you build a life in a city like Anaheim—whether through a business you start, children you raise, or roots you put down—you accumulate dependencies on your income. A term life policy is designed to protect those dependencies: the business operations, the family members, the obligations that took years to build.
