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.

Panorama of Valley 1927

The barn and silo in upper left of photo is on Bouquet Canyon Rd, can just make road out in front of them.  The Hall ranch house area is labeled in middle of photo.  A red "X" marks the Leona Valley Schoolhouse, it is behind the trees and just bell tower sticks above.  The photo was taken along Elizabeth Lake Rd near 75th St W.  Thanks Alice for the help.

Photo is very wide, scroll to right to view all of it.
