“Here we experience the story of our country's past...the colorful drama of Frontier America in the exciting days of the covered wagon and the stage coach...the advent of the railroad...and the romantic riverboat. Frontierland is a tribute to the faith, courage and ingenuity of the pioneers who blazed the trails across America. ” ―Dedication plaque
Frontierland is one of the many themed areas in the Disneyland Park as well as one of the park's original five lands. Built to look like a wild west mining town, the land is located on the western side of Disneyland Park, between Fantasyland , Adventureland , and New Orleans Square . Rivers of America and Big Thunder Mountain dominate the majority of the land.
