Hike Cherry Valley, Santa Catalina Island, California
Cherry Valley is named for the native cherry trees, Prunus ilicfolia, which grow there.
The seat of an early mining, where the hillsides are honeycombed with tunnels. From 1862 to 1964 the Island was swarming with prospectors for precious metals. The seat of the excitement seems to have been at Cherry Valley. Every foot of ground from the sea to the summit of the hills—was filed on as mining claims.
There are several historic burials reported in Cherry valley:
Mrs. Birdie Chester (1901)
unidentified miner (1863)
unidentified miner (1863)
