HISTORY

The Chumash Valley of the Shaman

The Chumash Indians called today's Piñon Pines and Cuddy Valley the "Valley of the Antaps" (Valley of the Shaman).

It was an area of great spiritual significance. The Shaman would make an annual sojourn to the valley to perform rituals. Their purpose was to bring sacred powers down from the Upper World along a spiritual pathway to the Middle World, as it was felt that the two worlds were very close there.

Center of the Universe

The Shaman would draw strength from the two sacred mountains at each end of the valley, Iwihinmu (Mt. Pinos) and Toshololo (Frazier Mountain) – the highest points in the Chumash lands. They considered this area the center of their universe.

The Spanish used an inland trail that passed through Cuddy Valley. El Camino Viejo connected Los Angeles with the early Spanish capital of Monterey. What started as wild animal trails developed into a link between the Spanish missions.

Butts & Cuddy Families

The Butts family and the Cuddy family homesteaded the area in the 1800's. The Butts family operated a small cattle ranch on the land that is now Piñon Pines. The family remained on the property until the late 1930's when the ranch was sold to the Schafer family.

The Schafer's lived on the land until the mid-1940's when it was sold to the Cannon brothers and their sister Mary Brochtel. The brothers worked the land until the 1960's when Steve Cannon was advised by his physician, Dr. McLaughlin that he should relocate to a lower elevation for health reasons.

Dr. McLaughlin

Dr. McLaughlin purchased the land for a mere $20,000 with the intention to develop it into a residential community. Dr. McLaughlin encountered many problems while seeking county approval to subdivide the property and widen the main road leading into the development. Dr. McLaughlin retained the property until the 1970's when he decided to sell the land to Eastco, Inc.

Eastco, Inc.

Eastco moved ahead with the Piñon Pines development when the company was abruptly stopped by an emergency measure signed into law, by then Governor Ronald Reagan, to halt planning of 35 land developments in Kern County.

Representatives for Eastco challenged the law arguing that it did not apply to developments already in progress and that Eastco had already spent $200,000 on the residential project.

The representatives, with the assistance of the author of the measure, were able to persuade the County that they had a right to move forward with the development. Piñon Pines was completed in 1975.
