History

The Hollister Hills State Vehicle Recreation Area (SVRA) began as 600 acres of privately owned land purchased by Jesse Whitton after an expedition through the area with John C. Fremont in 1846.[1] In 1959, Jesse Whitton's great grandson, Howard Harris, inherited the land and created a privately operated motorcycle park in the 1950s.[2][3]

OHV recreation became increasingly popularized in the 1970s through the onset of dirt bike and motocross racing,[4] and the desire to ride motorcycles off paved roads surged.Cite error: Closing </ref> missing for <ref> tag In 1975, the Hollister Hills SVRA was acquired by the California State Parks and became the the first of nine SVRAs in California.[3]
