History
Originally settled in the 1860s, the first settlers included many strawberry farmers. The area would first be known as Strawberry Flat.[4] Some of the first buildings to be constructed in the town include the now gone Squirrel Inn, the still-standing Antlers Inn, and the also still-standing Pine Rose Cabins. The Antlers Inn originated in 1919 when some 20 cabins were simultaneously constructed around a central lodge then known as the Alpine Terrace Resort.
Calvary Chapel Bible College
In 1975, Calvary Chapel Bible College purchased and renovated the Monte Corona resort, repurposing it as a Biblical college and Conference Center. In 1994, C.C.B.C. would relocate to Murrieta, California and the former site would become repurposed as a Christian Conference Center. C.C.B.C. returned to Twin Peaks in July 2022 after nearly 30 years and began massive renovations & projects on all campus buildings. The Bible College is currently undergoing more major construction; and involved in creating more employment & investment for the community.[5][6]

The Church of Scientology's Church of Spiritual Technology has been located in Twin Peaks since 1982.
