Description
In 1934, federal financing under the Hayden-Cartwright bill allowed for the grading and paving of 5.2 miles of Manchester Avenue from Buena Park to Anaheim in Orange County. Only small portions of the original road remain in Anaheim when Interstate 5 was built over most of the route in the ’50s.
