Once they reached the top of the mountain range they found the valley was swarming with grizzly bear, which is how Big Bear Valley earned its name.

In 1911 construction is completed on a new dam replacing the old rock dam and tripling the amount of water stored in the lake.

Soon enough Southern Californiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest gold rush was on. Cattle ranching began in 1879 where the present rodeo grounds are located at Shay Meadow. Cattle would expand to a big business in the Valley.

5PVSJTN &TDBMBUFT BT UIF 'JMN *OEVTUSZ %JTDPWFST #JH #FBS The fledging film industry discovered Big Bear to be an inexpensive place to make films and the popularity of Big Bear as a tourist destination boomed. An auto line started bringing hundreds of tourists to Big Bear. By 1914 the Crest Highway is completed which provided a relatively easy circular trip through the mountains. Tourism began in earnest with the onset of the automobile and the establishment of highways. In 1920 the community now boasted 600 cabins. By 1921 there was a building boom with 80 new homes, and 24 resorts and camps around the lake. In 1924 a concrete bridge was built across the dam to connect the new south shore road to the Village and the Rim of the World Highway. By 1925 better roads and transportation increased the number of resorts to over 200.

8JOUFS 'BDJMJUJFT BSF #VJMU BOE -BVODIFT B /FX &SB In 1928 a competition ski jump was built in the hills just west of the Village near Paine Road where the Elkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lodge is today. In 1938, to increase winter tourism, a newly formed Park District built a toboggan run with a sling lift on â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lynn Hillâ&#x20AC;? behind the Village. The new winter facilities were a big success, causing more lodges and businesses to stay open year-round. The 30s and 40s saw an explosion of skiing and in 1949 the first ski resort opened.
