		In the 1920s, Walter Knott was a somewhat unsuccessful farmer, whose fortunes changed when he nursed several abandoned berry plants back to health.
		The huge berries were a hit, and the Knott family sold berries, preserves and pies from a Buena Park, California roadside stand.
		Walter remained active in the operation of Knott's Berry Farm until the death of Cordelia in 1974, at which point he turned his attention toward right-wing political causes, leaving day-to-day park operations to his children.
