Cameron Park History
Modern development accelerated in the area when Larry Cameron purchased 5,000 acres of foothill land in the 1950s for development purposes, first for ranching, then involving housing, a golf course, parks, a lake and a small airport.
In the years since then, the land has slowly been subdivided into lots of varying sizes, including ranch-sized properties and medium and high density residential neighborhoods.
Today, Cameron Park contains a mix of ranches, single family homes, condominiums, apartments and businesses.
