Although John Muir referred to the area as "Deer Park" in 1891,[4] the name Cedar Grove was in use by 1902. A small hotel was built without a permit in 1897 and was forced to close the next year. The name Cedar Grove Hotel appeared on the Tehipite 30' topographic map from 1905 to 1924.[5] Incense-cedar are abundant in canyon.
