Designate Little Arabia

The Mayor and Council Members of the City of Anaheim

Little Arabia District is a cultural destination in Orange County, California, the center for Orange County’s Arab-American community.

Every week, thousands of visitors shop, dine, worship, and celebrate within the vibrant ethnic community of Little Arabia, located in the area of Brookhurst Street between Interstate 5 and Katella Avenue in the city of Anaheim. The Arab-American community has contributed to the economy and culture of Anaheim by opening restaurants, mosques, churches, clothing stores, hair salons, and other destinations for those wishing to experience Middle Eastern culture.

Officially designating Little Arabia would bring even more commerce into the city.

In 2016, Anaheim City Council candidates pledged to support the designation of Little Arabia once they are elected. However, they failed to fulfill their promise after they were elected.

Now more than ever, it is vital to support our local business community. Businesses in Anaheim have felt the impacts of the covid-19 pandemic and government-ordered shutdowns. Promoting this economic district will aid in Anaheim’s economic recovery.

Sign the petition to request that the Anaheim City Council adopts a resolution to officially designate Little Arabia.
