Olive Mill Site

Type: Historical Sites
Status: Open
A marker designates the site of the first of the flour and feed mills in thesmall town of Olive that was established by Thomas Dillin and sons in 1882. Power for the mill was provided by a turbine turned by water from the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation Company canal. On September 29, 1889, fire destroyed the structure. Because it was one of Orange County's most important pioneer industries, work to rebuild the mill began immediately.
