Geocache Description:




Paramount used to be the center of the hay and dairy industries in LA and Orange County. From the 1920s through the 1950s this area was called "The Hay Capital of the World." The high cost of land led to the demise of these industries with the last dairy closing in 1977.

The Paramount Hay Tree, which is located at this site, is a California State Historical Landmark. It is a still standing 120 year old camphor tree remembered for its importance to the hay trading marketplace of the towns of Hynes and Clearwater, which later incorporated as Paramount. The hay traders met under the tree each working day to discuss the price of hay. Their numbers were quoted by the New York mercantile markets as the global hay standard.

When my mom pointed this area out to me a few weeks ago, I was surprised that there wasn't already a cache. Just placing a simple one to point out the interesting spot.
