Kick off

The photos in this blog capture a piece of Leona Valley history from 1913 till about 1930 and are from various Hall family members. In 1913 my grandfather Frank D Hall bought the 3000 acre St. Anthony Ranch, the valley was then known as Leonis. He changed the name of the ranch to Leona Valley Ranch and set about building a dairy farm, but things didn't work out so well. My dad, also Cliff, grew up on the ranch.
The Leona Valley Town Council has a history document here:

Would appreciate any comments you wish to share about a photo or any details you know about it.
For now I will leave comments open to anyone without spam prevention features turned on, if spam becomes a problem I will change the settings.

Cliff feeding the chickens - about 1918

Looks like a tunnel or cave in hillside.

  2. South end of 90th St W. I think is was hand dug for a root cellar. Might still be there, but could of caved in by now. If the horse barn is still there would be behind it.
    The Cliff in these photos is my Dad.
