Largo Vista (corruption of Larga Vista, Spanish for "Wide View") is an unincorporated community and archaic placename in Los Angeles County, California, United States. Largo Vista is located just north of the Angeles National Forest in the Antelope Valley 22.5 miles (36.2 km) southeast of Palmdale.
In the 1930s, Casa de Largo Vista was a "4000-acre dude ranch" and resort that offered "Indian pony riding" and regular "turkey shoots."[2] Largo Vista was near Noah Beery's Ark, a fishing spot and resort owned by the silent film actor-director.[3] An outdoor theater was planned for the Casa de Largo Vista Art Colony in 1932.[4] A woman named Rainbow Sistesso, who claimed to be the child of a Sioux named Yellow Cloud, seemingly lived at Casa de Largo Vista in 1934.[5]
One of the vehicle parking sites for the California Aqueduct Bikeway is at Largo Vista.[6]
The Largo Vista Fire burned 120 acres near Big Pine Highway in 2010.[7]
