At one time, the site of this park housed Knott’s Berry Farm, which translates as Nott Berry Factory, owned by American farmer and entrepreneur Walter Nott. Beginning in about 1920, his family sold berries, fruits, canned goods, and pies at the side of the 39th highway – about the same as they do in our villages. Probably, Walter’s wife’s pies turned out to necessary, because over time, this small business began to expand, and in 1934 the Nott family opened a roadside cafe where fried chicken legs a specialty. Soon, the cafe turned into a rather large restaurant, which became so popular among tourists that it only could not always accept everyone. So that visitors waiting in line will not get bored, the adventurous Walter Nott has built a small amusement park near his restaurant.
