Welcome to Ale Vaey S

ince the days of Gable and Lombard, when rumors of their stolen visits to the Yucca Loma Ranch were whispered in Hollywood, Apple Valley has been known as “A Better Way of Life.” People who settle here do so by choice and not out of necessity. They are attracted by the clean air of the High Desert, the hometown feeling of the area and to Apple Valley in particular—it is a wonderful place to locate a business and raise a family.

Exploring Apple Valley through this publication will reveal several surprises sure to delight you. You will discover that Apple Valley is considered the premier community of the High Desert, and find out how Apple Valley meets the needs of families and businesses. Bright and clear, Apple Valley sunrises set the tone for a busy, active community. Apple Valley is centrally located for your business and manufacturing needs. While overcrowding drives growing businesses out of L.A. and San Bernardino to other states, Apple Valley offers 78 square miles in which to successfully grow your business and family. Our healthy community is the ideal location to expand. Many Hollywood movie stars realized that in the 1940s. Apple Valley was the family home of Roy Rogers and Dale Evans. Dale often stated that she realized she made the right decision to live in Apple Valley just by watching an Apple Valley sunset. Apple Valley’s unique scenery and beautiful sunsets have also made it the perfect location for several movies. You too can have the same experience by visiting Apple Valley.

History

s early as the late 18th century, explorers began trekking the valley along the Mojave River. The Spanish missionary Father Francisco Garces, the explorer Jedediah Smith and government topographer John C. Fremont were among the earliest non-natives to the area, but it was the discovery of silver and gold that brought large numbers of settlers. The area witnessed many struggles between the original inhabitants and the later settlers. In January 1867, the last NativeAmerican battle was fought a few miles east of what is now Apple Valley, at a place called Chimney Rock. Today, people of many ethnic cultures live together in the peaceful surroundings of the valley, and the legacy of these cultures is evident throughout the area. Chimney Rock is marked by a state registered historical monument, and the old mine shafts can still be seen in the surrounding hills.

The years following World War I brought many changes that affected the area’s residents. The orchards suffered from a devastating fungus, the cost of operating electricity-driven water pumps increased, and apples and other fruits from the Pacific Northwest arrived in California markets. Many orchards died, and the valley returned to its

Mrs. Ursula M. Poates (one of those early arrivals, settling around 1893) is credited with having named the area Apple Valley. Mrs. Poates promoted real estate around the “Gateway to the Golden Land of Opportunity.” The colorful and dynamic woman advertised the 640-acre “City of Apple” in numerous newspapers. Mrs. Poates claimed that the area was called “Appleton Valley” at the time. She is quoted as saying, “There were apples being grown along the river, but not by the ‘ton,’ so I just called it Apple Valley.” Mrs. Poates’ efforts were later overwhelmed by the federal government, which opened thousands of acres to homesteaders shortly after the dawn of the 20th century. By 1914, apple growers were earning $350 to $500 per acre of fruit. Within a year and a half, the state legislature and the federal government had authorized the Victor Valley Water Project (the largest in the nation at that time), and the Santa Fe Railway began to lay double trackage to serve the anticipated needs of the area. On April 17, 1917, the United States entered World War I. Soon thereafter, young farmers, homesteaders, dam-builders and cowhands began to march off to fight instead of developing the area.

original landscape of quiet desert beauty. Finally (from 1944-46), frosts, heat and hail fell upon the surviving orchards. For the next seven years, firewood – the only thing growers had left to sell – was carried across Cajon Pass for burning in the fireplaces of Los Angeles. In 1945, Newton T. Bass and Bernard (Bud) J. Westlund, oil field wildcatters, became the area’s primary developers. Drilling in the Apple Valley area, Bass found something even more valuable than the oil he was searching for: water. Bass and Westlund bought 20,000 acres east of Victorville from the Union Pacific Railroad and decided to develop a community. The men pioneered land development, turning the acreage that they bought into a recreational and retirement “bedroom” community. This development has made Apple Valley one of the desert’s most prosperous areas. With extensive advertising and sales offices in other cities, Apple Valley lot sales reached the 5,000 mark within five years. Following the Apple Valley example, developers built golf courses and other recreational facilities, and modern homes began to replace the weather-beaten board shacks left behind by

the homesteaders. The boom of schools attested to Apple Valley’s attraction. In 1909, the Apple Valley School District had to “borrow” one pupil in order to have the minimum seven students that were required to hold class; between 1949 and 1958, three elementary schools and a junior high school were built and expanded. Known as a retreat for movie stars and the sight of several movie productions, Apple Valley became world famous. Among celebrities who came up to make movies or to just get away from it all were Red Skelton, Fred MacMurray, Jonathon Winters, Caesar Romero, Anthony Quinn, Dorothy Malone, Raymond Burr, Chuck Connors, Lawrence Welk, John Charles Thomas, Dean Martin, Dale Robertson and Desi Arnaz. Bass, who died in 1983, was once asked why he wanted to build a city out in the middle of nowhere. He said, “I had the vision to see, the faith to believe and the courage to do it.” Apple Valley Today! The Town of Apple Valley is not just a place. Apple Valley is an experience. Here a family can have a real home, uncrowded and sun drenched. The air is clean and the neighbors friendly. The community was incorporated on November 28,1988 with a population of just 41,000. The Victor Valley, in which Apple Valley is located, has a population of more than 300,000.

Location & Transpoation

he key to Apple Valley’s history and current prosperity is transportation. With the Mojave River and the Cajon Pass running through it, our area is the natural corridor to Southern California. Spanish priests, Mormon settlers and the railroads knew our area was the safest and fastest way to travel to and from Southern California. In fact, the existence of water in the Mojave River had made this a natural route for Native Americans over the centuries. The coincidence of the location of Cajon Pass near the source of the Mojave River is a history- making combination. In 1769, Lt. Pedro Fages led the first Spanish exploration through the Cajon Pass. The following year, Juan Bautista de Anza opened the Santa Fe Trail across the desert from the missions of Arizona and Sonora, and Francisco Garces led a party up the Colorado River to Needles and across the desert to the Victor Valley in 1776. Explorer John Fremont traveled throughout much of the territory. In 1844, he returned to Washington after traveling across the Cajon Pass and along the “Mohahve” River.

H I G H WAY S : Apple Valley is served by a modern, wellcoordinated highway system. Interstate 15 extends southward to San Diego, connecting with Interstate 10 and 215 and State Routes 60 and 91. Northbound, I-15 runs to Las Vegas, and connects with State Route 58 and Interstate 40. State Route 18 is the major northern east-west corridor in Apple Valley, and its proposed realignment – along with intermodal transportation facilities in Barstow (20 minutes) and San Bernardino (40 minutes) – will significantly enhance the region’s already formidable presence in the transportation of goods and services in and out of the Los Angeles basin.

R A I L : Amtrak passenger services are available at the Victorville Transit Center (16838 D Street, Victorville).

Eventually, the railroad came to Victor Valley. Overcoming a difficult task of engineering, the first track climbed and wound over Cajon Pass from San Bernardino to arrive in 1883. Built by the California Southern Railroad (later AT&SF) under the supervision of L. N. Victor, the line reached the Atlantic & Pacific (UPRR) junction at Barstow/Daggett in 1885. In 1923, the road crossing the Pass was paved for the first time. The area has always been known as the gateway to North America, and, as the facilities become more congested in Southern California, business and industry are turning their attention northward. Less congestion means faster movement of goods, and savings to companies who have to compete in the national and international market.

T R U C K S : Roadway Express, Inc. (located 20 minutes away from Apple Valley) and Yellow Freight Systems, Inc. (one hour away from Apple Valley), serve the major trucking needs of the area. A I R : The newly expanded Ontario International Airport, a onehour drive from Apple Valley on Interstate 10, handles passenger travel for Apple Valley. Apple Valley Airport is the gem of the county’s high desert, located in the Town of Apple Valley. Built in 1970, it is the gateway to the Victor Valley region and offers a year-round VFR. Flying services available at Apple Valley Airport include fuel, food, maintenance, charters, rentals and flight training. Southern California Logistics Airport (SCLA) is located 10 miles from Apple Valley. The City of Victorville and Stirling, a Foothill Ranch, California-based development company, has a

public/private partnership arrangement to redevelop the former George Air Force Base into Global Access, Victorville, CA. The partnership is dedicated to creating jobs and economic activity in the region. At completion, Global Access is anticipated to create more than 24,000 jobs and support another 18,500 jobs in the surrounding area. Global Access in Victorville, California is an 8,500-acre multi-modal freight transportation hub supported by air, ground and rail connections. The largest fully integrated commercial development in the region, Global Access, is comprised of three development divisions which include: Southern California Logistics Airport, a 2,500-acre world-class aviation and air cargo facility serving domestic and international needs. Southern California Logistics Centre, a 2,500-acre commercial and industrial complex totaling 60 million square feet of diverse development. 3 Southern California Rail Complex, a planned 3,500-acre intermodal rail and multi-modal complex including rail-served facilities. Bus: Victor Valley Transit Authority provides local bus services. Apple Valley is also served by the Greyhound Bus Lines at the

Tourism

oy Rogers and Dale Evans loved Apple Valley so much they made it their home, and their first museum was located on Happy Trails Highway (Hwy. 18). Why did they love Apple Valley so much? One reason is because of the wide, open spaces, the outstanding desert sunset, the access to mountain and ski resorts and the wide range of things to see and do.

Come see a little piece of how prehistoric man lived, by visiting the Calico Early Man Site, located on Minnelola Road exit of I-15, Yermo. Discovered in 1942, this important archaeological site allows the public to see what prehistoric life was like. Thousands of tools and other artifacts can be viewed year-round, Wednesday through Sunday. Call 760-252-6000 for more information. Calico Ghost Town is another historical site. Once a thriving silver mining community, now a great place to take the family. You can dine, be entertained, take a train ride, walk through a mine and watch cowboys shoot it out on Main Street.

California Route 66 Museum celebrates a time when the automobile was king. The museum includes artifacts of the famed Route 66, rotating exhibits and a permanent display of roadside attractions. San Bernardino County Fairgrounds is home to annual events, including the County Fair. Over 100,000 people attend the fair to enjoy a rodeo, award-winning livestock, a carnival, vendor booths, stage shows, art and photo shows, craft shows and much more.

Recreation

eautiful sunshine 90 percent of the year and clear high desert air means Apple Valley is ideally suited for the outdoor enthusiast. From its central location, you can drive to the beach, the mountains or both – in one day! Or stick close to home and enjoy the myriad opportunities at your doorstep.

A unique feature of the community is a network of equestrian trails that allow easy travel by horseback through many areas of the town. Horse enthusiasts will find a very active equestrian community, with many planned events at Horsemen’s Center (a town-owned facility featuring arenas and riding trails). If you prefer traveling by golf cart rather than horseback, Apple Valley is home to several golf courses. Beautiful greens and outstanding courses offer challenges for the advanced golfer, while still providing an enjoyable experience for beginners. Many famous golfers and celebrities have tried their hand at the Apple Valley Golf Course, including Lloyd Mangrum (1914-1973) who was ranked 10th on the all-time list of PGA tour wins at his induction into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 1998. Across town, the scenic vistas of the public Jess Ranch Golf Course, Ashwood Golf Club make for a great day of golfing, regardless of the final score! For variety, the avid golfer can also try one of the other half dozen golf courses in neighboring communities, including Spring Valley Lake, Victorville Municipal Golf Course and the Hesperia Golf Course. Local fishing opportunities abound at the Jess Ranch trout farm, Hesperia Lakes and in the numerous local mountain lakes, providing relaxing fun for the entire family. With great expanses of natural desert at Apple Valley’s back door, local groups of conservationists and outdoor enthusiasts regularly organize hikes to view everything from wildflowers to historic sites. Some may prefer to go exploring on their own, and will be thrilled to rediscover mysterious petroglyphs carved into desert boulders and cliffs along the Mojave River by early inhabitants (whose only other memorials are a few primitive tools left near ancient campsites). Calico Early Man Site is another must-see for visitors to the high desert. This was the only New World archaeology project undertaken by the renowned archaeologist/paleontologist Dr. Louis S. B. Leakey. The site is located about 15 miles northeast of Barstow off Interstate 15. The history of this site dates back to 1942 when amateur archaeologists discovered what they believed to be primitive stone tools in this area – fragments of which were embedded in the sediments of an ancient Pleistocene Era lake shoreline called Lake Manix. Off-road vehicle riding is popular and welcome in nearby designated areas. Sand washes, dunes and mesquite thickets cover the 22,500-acre Rasor Road open area 45 miles northwest of

Barstow. Rolling hills and open valleys invite riders willing to travel to this remote area. Elevations range from 2,427 square feet down to 1,275 feet at the Mojave River. The area also offers opportunities for hiking, rock scrambling, rock hounding and plant, bird and wildlife watching. Keep an eye out for the desert tortoise, a state and federally listed threatened species. Also, riders are urged to stick to the designated riding areas to avoid the many deep mine shafts in the vicinity. Locally, the Town of Apple Valley Parks and Recreation Department offers a wide variety of recreation and sports activities for all ages – from special interest classes to sports leagues to after school programs to excursions. A quarterly Recreation Activity Guide is mailed to residents to keep them apprised of the fun. Some of the classes offered through the department include painting, dancing, computers and even “Puppy Kindergarten!” A comprehensive pee-wee sports program teaches three- to five-year olds the building blocks of sport skills and teamwork in a noncompetitive environment. Open rides and campfires at Horsemen’s Center bring the equestrian community together, and day camps offer kids a fun and safe place to go during school breaks. A year-round calendar of town-wide special events provides fun in a family environment. Events include Jazz Night Street Fairs, the Fourth of July Freedom Festival (an old-fashioned Fourth of July celebration) and the Apple Valley Round Up – a tradition begun in 1947 that features a parade, 5/10K run, carnival and entertainment stretching over an entire weekend every September. The department also manages 15 parks and special use facilities throughout the town. The ski and recreation areas of Big Bear, Lake Arrowhead and Wrightwood are only an hour’s drive from Apple Valley. These resort areas offer skiing in the winter and boating and lake activities in the summer. Oktoberfest is celebrated in Big Bear in traditional German fashion with music and beer halls. Lake Arrowhead offers outstanding shopping opportunities and a robust cultural environment with many music and art festivals. In addition to being close to nature, Apple Valley is a short drive from the entertainment opportunities of Los Angeles and Las Vegas. Less than a two-hour drive will bring you to the beaches and major attractions of the L.A. area. An easy three-hour drive on I-15 will put you in the glow of the casino lights at Stateline and Las Vegas, where visitors can enjoy a variety of top entertainment and family recreation in addition to gambling. Apple Valley is a great place to live and play. Don’t miss the opportunity to find out what our founders knew…Apple Valley is a great place to raise a family in the wide, open spaces – a place for “A Better Way of Life.”

ndustrious people with a strong work ethic are part of the history of Apple Valley. Farming, fruit trees and, of course, apple orchards sprung up during the 1920s. The mining industry began operation in the area at the turn of the century and continues today. Cement and limestone are the main materials supplied by local mining operations surrounding Apple Valley.

Today, Apple Valley is virtually an untapped market for service and industry. Apple Valley offers both established and new businesses an unequaled climate for success. Start-up and operating costs for new and expanding businesses are among the lowest in Southern California. Premium land sites, affordably priced land and a growing labor force of both skilled workers and professionals makes Apple Valley the perfect location for companies. Located outside the South Coast Air Quality Management District (part of the Mojave Desert Air Quality Management District), Apple Valley offers opportunities not available in the Los Angeles basin for manufacturing and industry. In addition, low labor and production costs, development fees, as well as low property taxes make Apple Valley an attractive business location. Apple Valley has the highest estimated mean income of all the Victor Valley cities. The medical industry is also growing, and services include cardiology, radiology, oncology, pain management and more. Financial institutions in Apple Valley include Bank of America, Desert Community Bank, American Security Bank, Washington Mutual Bank, and Alaska USA Federal Credit Union. Major companies to small home-based businesses make Apple Valley their home because of the potential for growth. With the population of the area estimated to be 339,800 and growing, locating your business in Apple Valley makes sense. The Town of Apple Valley continues to show steady growth in all sectors of the local economy, led by continued growth in sales, tax revenues and the single-family residential sector. Small apple orchards and farms were the beginning of industry here. The apple orchards are gone but growth continues in Apple Valley â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the perfect place to plant your business.

Sunset Hills Memorial Park N estled into the Sycamore Rocks at the east end of Apple Valley, Sunset Hills Memorial Park is not only one of the most scenic areas of the Valley, it is quickly becoming a tourist destination. The cemetery’s popularity is partly due to its most famous residents, King of the Cowboys Roy Rogers and his wife, Queen of the West Dale Evans. Dale Evans so firmly believed in Sunset Hills, that she spent many hours there after the death of Roy. Dale would sit at the Rogers Family Estate Garden overlooking the valley, working on some of her many books.

Shortly after the passing of Roy, Dale approached Sunset Hills Founder Chet Hitt about building a chapel in honor of her late husband. Hitt responded that no tribute to Roy would be complete without mention of Dale and the idea for the Roy Rogers - Dale Evans Sunset Chapel was born. He made a promise to Dale on that day, and on February 19th, 2007, that promise was fulfilled.

and more couples are choosing to celebrate the beginning of their lives together, with a wedding on the Chapel grounds. Charities and other local organizations have found that the Chapel, with its state-of-the-art technology, knowledgeable and caring staff and flexible layout, is the perfect location for their events.

Sunset Hills Memorial Park & Mortuary is nationally recognized as one of the most innovative and beautiful funeral facilities anywhere, and national media and funeral industry executives often visit the park “to see what Chet Hitt’s been up to.” Using the natural rockscape of the park as well as artificial rocks and grass, estate gardens and mausoleums have been designed which allow the families of Sunset Hills to own the most unique cemetery property available today. Photos of all of the properties of Sunset Hills, as well as service schedules, online obituaries and live webcasts are available on the company Web site at www.sunsethills.cc.

Today, the Roy Rogers - Dale Evans Sunset Chapel is a place of Celebration that Dale would have been proud of. In fact, at the Chapel Grand Opening in 2007, Roy “Dusty” Rogers, Jr. praised Chet Hitt for maintaining the “spirit of life and celebration” that meant so much to his Mother. In addition to the “Celebrations of Life” which the Chapel was built for, more

Government

he Town of Apple Valley was incorporated in 1988 as a general law city. Wishing to retain the hometown feeling embedded in the rural roots of the community, the incorporation drive chose “town” over “city” (although both terms mean the same thing under California law). Celebrating 20 years as a town in 2008, the fivemember Town Council is proud of the accomplishments achieved in 20 short years, and continue to base their decisions on whether the outcome contributes to “A Better Way of Life” for residents, businesses and visitors. Town Hall is located at the Apple Valley Civic Center at 14955 Dale Evans Parkway. Opened in 2002, the 25,000-square-foot Town Hall houses most town departments, as well as a recreation center and the Council Chambers. The Civic Center is also home to the Newton T. Bass San Bernardino County branch library (a 19,000-square-foot facility) and a 13,000-square-foot building that houses the Police Department and Code Enforcement Department. A 22-acre site immediately adjacent is under development as Civic Center Park, and includes a new aquatic center. The Town also operates 15 park and special-use facilities, including the James A. Woody Community Center and Gym, Horsemen’s Center and various neighborhood parks.

The Town of Apple Valley has a $104.4 million budget across all funds for fiscal year 2008-09. An aggressive road repair and capital improvement program has resulted in the paving of 90 percent of the 400 miles of roads in Apple Valley since incorporation. The Council’s “Vision 2010,” outlines the top 10 priorities, including roads, economic and retail development, community enhancement and recreation and park facilities and programs. For more information, visit the Town’s Web site at www.applevalley.org.

Worship

pple Valley was founded on a strong tradition of community spirit and the belief of neighbor helping neighbor. While this old-fashioned tradition may have died out in some communities around the country, it is still strong in Apple Valley.

PLEASE USE WATER WISELY - RESPECT THE FLOW

Committed to Provide Safe, Courteous Service 21760 Ottawa Road • P.O. Box 7005 Apple Valley, CA 92307 (760) 247-6484 • (800) 481-9190 Fax (760) 247-1654 24 Hour Service

The community’s churches and worship centers have been leaders in keeping this tradition alive – through words and through example. Local churches tackle community projects by partnering with other churches to get the job done. A multi-faith, after-school kids’ care program, neighborhood clean-up projects and an interfaith thrift shop (to raise money for low-income families) are among the projects that our faith community has taken on together. Area houses of worship range from the large, well-established to the small and intimate. Families and friends can gather in beautiful houses of worship for most faiths with over 180 congregations, including Catholic and Protestant (denominational and non denominational).
