History
In 1865 the Glenn family settled on 20 acres of land in the Cajon Pass named "Cajon Rancho". In 1873 Silas Glenn gave the land to his son-in-law and daughter, James and Ellen Applewhite. At the time Keenbrook was called Applewhite Place and the land expanded to 160 acres. It was very popular among travelers coming from the Mojave Desert to San Bernardino along the John Brown Toll Road and AT&SF Railroad. In 1878 former owner Silas Glenn died and his wife could not take care of the property, and the Applewhites took over the land. On January 23, 1883, James Applewhite sold his property to Granville H. Keen for $600 and it was renamed Keenbrook.[1]
