For centuries, the mountains and valleys that became the Running
Springs area have swelled with natural resources, supplying the
hunting and gathering needs of Native Americans who harvested
acorns and herbs and hunted deer and other wildlife to sustain
themselves through the winters in the valleys below.
Nineteenthcentury gold prospectors passed through the Running
Springs vicinity on their way to the Holcomb Valley. Lumbermen came
to harvest the virgin timber, supplying the construction
requirements of the booming population of Southern California as
well as the need for shook, the thin-shaved boards used to make
packing and shipping boxes for the fast-growing citrus industries.
The early days of Running Springs are detailed in this winding trip
through San Bernardino Countys namesake mountains in vintage
photographs, which also profile the nearby settlements of Arrowbear
Lake and Green Valley Lake.
