About Acton
A place to call home
- 1887Founded
- Aprox - 8,000Residents
- Nearly 100Square miles
Founded in 1887 by gold miners working the Red Rover Mine, Acton was once considered for the State Capital of California. In 1889 the town’s first hotel and saloon, the 49er, opened, and you can still tie your horse to a side rail there today.
With about 8,000 residents across nearly 100 square miles, there is a shared desire for Acton to remain rural: limited construction, limited expansion, and a haven for space, wildlife and natural beauty for many years to come.
Mountains, mountains, mountains!
Known for spectacular views of the Sierra Pelona Mountains, Acton prizes preserving its natural community, flora and fauna, and keeping the night sky dark for outstanding stargazing.
Rugged natural beauty
Parker Mountain and the surrounding high desert offer hiking, biking, camping and off-roading, and are home to the Shambala Preserve and its lions, tigers and cougars.
Exceptional scenery
Don’t be surprised if Acton pops up on your screen. Terminator 3, Little Miss Sunshine and underwater scenes from Titanic were all shot on location here.
Rural and equestrian
Horse properties, multipurpose trails and a Western heritage architectural theme are protected by the Acton Community Standards District.
