Alpine was a place where people used to live in Los Angeles County, California. It's known as a "former settlement" because it's not an active town or city anymore. Imagine a place that once had homes and maybe even a few buildings, but now it's mostly gone or just a historical spot.

Where Was Alpine Located?

Alpine was located high up, about 1,923 feet (or 586 meters) above sea level. That's like being on top of a really tall hill or a small mountain!

This historical spot was found about five miles southwest of a city called Palmdale, California. It was also quite close, about a mile away, from a place known as the Fin and Feather Club Lake.

A Glimpse into Alpine's Past

Even though Alpine is no longer a busy settlement, it was still important enough to appear on some maps as late as 1933. This shows that it was a recognized location for many years, even if it eventually faded away.
