The Santa Clarita Valley was practically built on Oil. The rich deposits from Placerita, to Pico,to Elsmere Canyons had oil wells dotting the landscape for years.
Mentryvville is a famous oil town in the West Santa Clarita Valley which has been preserved over the years. While there are no longer any residents of this town the remnants of this historic oil town are still around and available for the public to see.
