The Antelope Valley is a region of both Los Angeles and Kern Counties containing 20 areas including Palmdale, Lancaster, Quartz Hill, Leona Valley, Elizabeth Lake, Lake Hughes, Littlerock, Llano, and Pearblossom located in Los Angeles County and Rosamond, Mojave, and California City in Kern County. This large 3,000 square-mile, beautiful desert community is located just northeast, in the high desert, approximately 60 miles from the city of Los Angeles and borders Tehachapi Mountains in the north and the San Gabriel Mountains in the south. To get to the Antelope Valley from L.A. just head northbound on I-5, just past the I-210 near Sylmar heading toward Santa Clarita Valley. Take CA-14 about 35 miles. It is also possible to get to the area along Ca. State Route 138 which intersects at I-5 north of Santa Clarita near the Grapevine, or from San Bernardino County where Highway 138 (Pearblossom Hwy) intersects I-15 (Silverwood Lake exit) just North of Devore.

One of the first recorded settlers who ventured into the Antelope Valley began in 1772 by a European, Capt. Pedro Fages followed by various explorations from 1772 to 1806 by Hispanics. Antelope Valley began as a trade route for Native Americans traveling from Arizona and New Mexico to California’s coast. The Antelope Valley Indian Museum in Lake Los Angeles offers insights and artifacts showing the indigenous population. It wasn’t until the 1840s when John C. Fremont made a scientific observation of the valley along with his other California explorations and permanent settlement began.

The Antelope Valley has a population of just over 486,000. It is the fastest growing and most affordable region in Los Angeles County.  The Antelope Valley Air Quality Management District (AVAQMD) motto, “It’s a breath of fresh air”, continues to be the operative statement regarding the air quality in the Antelope Valley. At least three eSolar plants are planned for the Greater Antelope Valley, and Southern California Edison has announced plans to purchase power from those plants. A few of the largest employers are; Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Antelope Valley Mall, Palmdale School District, Wal-Mart, Antelope Valley Union School District, Boeing, and Palmdale Regional Medical Center.
