The Signal Tree: A Forgotten Piece of History

The Signal Tree in Santa Clarita, sometimes called the Marker Tree, was once one of the best known places in the area, thanks to Ripley's Believe It or Not, but as time has gone by, it has faded from memory. The tree's unique look is the result of it's branches being affixed to the grown by Native Americans when it was young to serve as a marker along the trail for something. What exactly the tree was marking is lost to time, but it is believed it was likely marking the way to Pico Springs. The area the Signal Tree is in, has been used as a route through the area for hundreds of years. First used by the Tataviam people, it was later used as a stage route, The Ridge Route, and Highway 99. As the area was built up, the tree became harder to see, obscured now by buildings, and there is no mention of it's history anywhere near it. Just down the street from the Signal Tree is Old Glory, another Valley Oak that made national news for a bit, when an activist climbed the tree and stayed living in its branches for 71 days in order to save it. The Signal Tree is located at 24940 Pico Canyon Road, Santa Clarita, CA Old Glory is located at 25600 Pico Canyon Road.
