A Visit to Edison Square 1959

01.01.70

Inspired by Walt Disney’s memories of Marceline, Mo. (as well some memories of Imagineer Harper Goff’s boyhood in Fort Collins, Colo.), Main Street, U.S.A. at Disneyland Park is a small but prosperous, rural Midwestern city at the turn-of-the-century.

At one point in the early planning, Walt had wanted a side street extension at the end of Main Street that would have included such familiar landmarks as a schoolhouse, a church and a haunted house. Time and limited finances did not allow for that inclusion but, as Disneyland became a huge success in its first few years, Walt once again considered using that area for a future expansion.

At the end of Main Street, on the right side of The Hub, would have been another more urban, residential street called Edison Square. It would have been built on what was then known as “Plaza Street” near the Plaza Inn (at that time called the Red Wagon Inn). It was announced that Edison Square would open Easter 1959.

As shown in a full-color concept painting by Imagineer Sam McKim, the entrance to this suburban addition would resemble a gated community with two red brick pillars supporting a curved all electric sign saying “Edison Square.” There would be a brick paved street, the most modern of electric and gas-powered “horseless carriages” and, of course, “brand new” electric street lights instead of Main Street’s gas lamps.
