River Pines Developer Brooke showing off new resort and cabin sites in the 1920's.

In the 1920s, the growing middle class looked for weekend or summer vacation property to buy a cabin amid the pines. Developers Roy and Helen Brooke found suitable land along the south fork of the Cosumnes in Amador, and developed River Pines Resort to sell cabin sites.

By damming the river, the resort developed water activities and sports. The resort thriving for a time, and the Brookes subdivided more land for lots. In time, the resort became just another rural, remote community with a post office and store and lots of privacy.
