Its population was 50,151 as of the [[2020 United States census\|2020 census]]. ~~== History ==~~ Cypress was originally incorporated under the name [[Dairy City, California\|Dairy City]] in 1956 by local [[dairy farmer]]s as a way to keep out development and preserve their dairies. However, the land became too valuable for farming, and one-by-one, dairies sold out to housing developers in the [[1960s]]. By the [[1970s]], no dairies remained. Many of the dairymen moved their operations to [[Chino, California]]. ==History== In 1957, residents voted to change the name of Dairy City (alternatively known as "Waterville" due to the preponderance of artesian wells in the area) to Cypress. The name was taken from Cypress Elementary School, originally built in 1895, which took it's name from the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cupressus_sempervirens Cypress]trees planted to protect the schoolhouse from the seasonal [[Santa Ana winds]]. Cypress Elementary School also provided the name for new [[Pacific Electric Railroad]] station on Walker Street at Lincoln Avenue when the Santa Ana Line was completed in 1906, as "Waterville" had already been used elsewhere in the system. Cypress originally was nicknamed "Waterville" due to the preponderance of [[artesian wells]] in the area, but was incorporated under the name Dairy City in 1956 by local [[dairy farmer]]s as a means of staving off developers and to preserve their dairies, much like the then-neighboring cities of Dairy Valley in [[Cerritos, California\|Cerritos]] and Dairyland in [[La Palma, California\|La Palma]]. After [[World War II]], however, the land became too valuable for farming or ranching, and the dairies gradually sold out to housing developers during the 1960s, so that by the 1970s no dairies remained. Many of the dairymen moved their operations to [[Chino, California\|Chino]], where development is once again pushing them out of the area.<ref>[https://orangecounty.net/occities/Cypress_history.html#:~:text=The%20History&text=In%20fact%2C%20it%20once%20was,gave%20the%20area%20its%20name Cypress History] {{Webarchive\|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240716015520/https://orangecounty.net/occities/Cypress_history.html#:~:text=The%20History&text=In%20fact%2C%20it%20once%20was,gave%20the%20area%20its%20name\|date=July 16, 2024}}.</ref> In 1957, local residents voted to change the name of "Dairy City" to "Cypress".<ref>{{Cite web\|url=https://www.ochistoryland.com/cypress\|title=Cypress\|website=OC Historyland\|access-date=July 16, 2024\|archive-date=July 16, 2024\|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240716015631/https://www.ochistoryland.com/cypress\|url-status=live}}</ref> The name was taken from Cypress Elementary School (originally built in 1895) which took its name from the [[Cupressus sempervirens\|cypress]] trees planted to protect the schoolhouse from the seasonal [[Santa Ana winds]].

The event, the Cypress Community Festival, currently may be the largest single-day event of its kind in Orange County, California. The Cypress Community Festival is held annually on the 4th Saturday in July at Oak Knoll Park, located adjacent to the Cypress Community Center at 5700 Orange Avenue, between Valley View Street and Walker Avenue. ~~Cypress is approximately 13 miles north of [[Bolsa Chica State Beach\|Bolsa Chica]].
