Since its beginning as a Southern Pacific Railroad town 100 years ago, Fillmore has been the setting of many legends and true tales, like the St. Francis Dam disaster, the 1994 earthquake, and the Hollywood film shoots. Joaquin Murietta hid in the hills, and the story of the T. Wallace More murder in Rancho Sespe in 1877 was the murder of the century. Rancho Camulos, owned by the del Valle family until 1924, signifies the last of the Californios. Today, it is owned by the descendants of August Rubel. Tales of the sycamore tree abound, and it is an icon on Highway 126, as is the tower of the Sanitary Dairy, which was ordered from the Sears, Roebuck & Company in Chicago. Oil was discovered early in Shiells Canyon and brought Texaco to town. The fruit industry prospered, and Sunkist was welcomed. Hugh Warring installed indoor plumbing in the Piru Mansion. The likes of Booty Sanchez, Marcelino Woody Ybarra, Gene Wren, Kevin Gross, Jim Fauver, and Dorothy Shiells still influence the community.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Riveting…..definitely 5-stars By Dr. M This book is a beautifully done, rich compendium of some of the very fascinating folks from Fillmore’s past.They are as diverse as it gets, ranging from murderers like Tiburcio Vasquez, Hollywood star (Mary Pickford), and pioneering photojournalist (Charles Lummis).I was most intrigued by the story of Joaquin Murrieta, who like Robin Hood who would take care for the oppressed, and the poor people would in turn protect him from the law. The rangers who finally killed him actually decapitated his head, and put it in alcohol filled jar for public display.The beautiful pictures presented with the local legends bring to life their fascinating stories and the author is successful in making the reader actually live through all those years in Fillmore.Highly Recommended.
