Topico Hill, outside of from Rosamond and some 50 miles north of Los Angeles, was long a resting spot for travelling Piute and Mojave Indians. Seams of red-colored clay lured Ezra Hamilton of the Los Angeles Pottery Company to the region. When Los Angeles' building boon fell to depression in the nineties, Hamiliton began panning for gold and struck it rich on what is known as Hamilton Hill. Already "homesteaded" was Charles Graves, an African-American from Kentucky, who extended hospitality and shared his lodgings; the Hamilton's will share the stake with Graves.
