Squaw Valley, Placer County, California
Olympic Valley (historically or informally known as Squaw Valley) is an unincorporated community located in Placer County, California northwest of Tahoe City along California State Highway 89 on the banks of the Truckee River near Lake Tahoe. It is home to Palisades Tahoe (formerly Squaw Valley Ski Resort), the site of the 1960 Winter Olympics. Olympic Valley is the smallest resort area to host the Olympic Winter Games. Name When westward bound travelers first encountered the valley, they called it Squaw Valley because they saw only Washoe women and children, as most of the men were away hunting. The name "Squaw Valley" has become associated with the area's history as a skiing destination. However, the local Washoe tribe has advocated for the removal of "squaw", a term used historically for Native American women that is now considered an ethnic slur. Since the 1960 Winter Olympics, the community has also been known as Olympic Valley, based on a post office by this name. On Au ...
