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.

South end of 90th St W looking north

View north from ranch house area in 1927.  Street is now named 90th St W.

Below is a recent aerial photo of ranch house area. At bottom middle of photo is the south end of 90th St W. The silo and cow barn towards top of photo are easy to spot. Ranch house just to right and above end of road.  The palm trees are bigger that you see in the next newer post.
