While the town became an official Town when residents voted for incorporation in 1988, our history goes back much further. Local historians have found signs of Serrano Indian camps along the Mojave River in Apple Valley. They were already here when Father Francisco Garces arrived in 1776, as he established the Spanish missions throughout California. It was in 1860 that the first cabin was built in Apple Valley by Silas Cox, and the first road was cut the following year. There are many stories as to how Apple Valley acquired its name. According to the late Mary Hampton, local historian, the name arose from the abundance of apple orchards that existed here in the 1920s. With a pleasant climate and lots of land, many types of ranches were built in the area. The modern founders of Apple Valley were Newton T. Bass and B.J. Bud Westlund, who were partners in the oil and gas industry in Long Beach, CA. Westlund and Bass formed the Apple Valley Ranchos Land Co. in 1946 and marketed the area as a destination resort and quality residential community - "The Golden Land of Apple Valley".
