A historic dam and orchards shape Littlerock's identity

With leafy orchards and local fruit stands, Littlerock is known as “The Fruit Basket of the Antelope Valley.” This tiny agricultural town is southwest of Palmdale at the foot of the Sierra Pelona Mountains, about 50 miles from Los Angeles. It offers residents a laidback, rural lifestyle that's just a short drive from nearby amenities.

Littlerock is named for the Little Rock Wash, a stream that winds through the area. The area was settled in the mid-1800s and began to grow in population after several farmers moved there to plant almond and pear trees. In the early 20th century, the town opened its first schoolhouse and library. Shortly after, the Littlerock Dam was built to irrigate the town’s many orchards. At the time, it was the highest reinforced concrete dam with multiple arches in the world and is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places. These days, Littlerock is home to around 1,500 residents, although the nearby community of Sun Village is also considered part of the town.
