The Rescue area was settled as early as 1847. The story goes that Andrew Hare was "rescued" from poverty by mining, and named the town Rescue. There are few of the early structures remaining, but the rock walls along the roadside are reminiscent evidence of "killing two birds with one stone," cleaning land and putting up fences.

 Green Valley road was the established route to California's El Dorado, bringing the Pony Express and pioneers from as far away as Germany, Denmark, Scotland and Switzerland. Although striking it rich was the motivation for moving out west, a handful of gold seekers would later find raising cattle and cultivating vineyards to be more lucrative. The Maidu Indians were the only indigenous people to the area. They spent their winters here in Deer Valley, but come summer, would travel with a number of small ponies carrying their supplies to Plunket, 4 miles from Latrobe. Some of the dwellings still standing, date back to the 1850's, but the majority of livable housing throughout the pine hills of Deer Valley are custom ranch style homes built on 5-10 acres parcels, between the 1980's and 90's.   
But take the time to walk the walk and you will see what makes Pine Hill an exceptional little hill: it is home to a surprising collection of endemic plants that are found in either few or no other places as naturally occurring native plants! In fact most of these Pine Hill specialties were only discovered within the last 40 years. Concern about these plants became so extreme that in 1996, five of the eight rare plant species of the Pine Hill region were listed as either threatened or endangered by extinction under the Federal Endangered Species Act.
