Apple Valley
The Town of Apple Valley was incorporated in 1988, and is one of the twenty-two incorporated municipalities in California that uses "town" in its name instead of "city".
In the early 1900s, resident Ursula M. Poates planted three apple trees in her yard to help convince prospective land-owners that fruit could be grown in this part of the Mojave Desert. She called the area Apple Valley and the name was officially recognized when a post office was established in 1949.
Apple Valley was home to Roy Rogers and Dale Evans, whose museum was first established in Apple Valley (in 1967) and is the final resting place for both Roy and Dale. There are reminders of the Rogers everywhere one turns including roads and highways. Roy and Dale created St. Hillary's Episcopal Church, founded a home for boys, a juvenile detention center and while they were living took in some 20-40 children and raised them as their own.
