Fact text
- Cypress was originally nicknamed 'Waterville' thanks to an abundance of artesian wells bubbling up all over the area.
- The city was first incorporated in 1956 under the gloriously on-the-nose name 'Dairy City,' chosen by local dairy farmers to keep developers away.
- The city's current name actually traces back to cypress trees planted to shield a schoolhouse from fierce Santa Ana winds, the school named the city.
- The Los Alamitos Race Course is actually located inside Cypress, despite boldly wearing a neighboring city's name.
- Cypress hosts what may be Orange County's largest single-day community festival, all crammed into one Saturday each July.
