Quartz Hill, California
Quartz Hill is located in the High Desert of California north of the Los Angeles area. As
recently as the 1970's the town was largely agricultural, with cash crops of almonds, alfalfa,
and turkeys. The almond orchards crippled by disease and the alfalfa growers having to
contend with their water rights being diverted (to a growing Los Angeles) caused a significant
shift in the local work force. Mainly the shift was toward the nearby aerospace plants of
Lockheed Martin and Rockwell International. Their fields long empty Quartz Hill still
celebrates the Almond Blossom Festival every year. Quartz Hill schools include Quartz Hill
Elementary School, Joe Walker Middle School and Quartz Hill High School.
