Historical Data	The town of Apple Valley, nicknamed the "Apple of the Desert", is located in the Victor Valley of San Bernardino County and was incorporated on November 14, 1988. It is located at the southern edge of the Mojave Desert and is bordered by Victorville on the west, and Hesperia on the southwest sides. Its elevation is approximately 2,900 feet above sea level, and the primary thoroughfare is State Route 18. For centuries Shoshonean, Paiute, Vanyume, Chemehueve, Serrano and Mojave tribes populated Apple Valley, and throughout the 19th century, it became a thoroughfare of people traveling to Southern California for various reasons. Today, is best known for two of its most famous residents: Roy Rogers and Dale Evans, who resided on Outer Highway 18, and whose museum was first established in Apple Valley in 1967.
Description	Aerial view of the Apple Valley Inn, a hotel and restaurant that opened on Thanksgiving Day 1948 to attract wealthy land buyers to the desert town. The Inn was a popular vacation destination for Hollywood celebrities between 1940s through 1960s. In 1965, then-residents Roy Rogers and Dale Evans leased the Inn and restaurant, which was renamed Roy Rogers' Apple Valley Inn. After many successful years the Inn closed to the public in 1987; in 2003 it was purchased by the Lakritz Partnership and restored. Today, the Inn is a landmark in the community and a prominent figure in the history of Apple Valley. Photograph dated February 3, 1961.
