History:
Named after the Saw Mill that was established by brothers Guy and Virgil
Covington, who came to the area near Trinity Center from the Washington State
area in the late 1800s.
In the 1950s when Disneyland California was being constructed, much of
the wood was milled here in Trinity to build the Magic Kingdom. Many
worker and family cabins survive today from the turn of the century.
