A little Butterfield-Overland Stagecoach history:
On September 16, 1858, the first Butterfield-Overland Stagecoach left St. Louis, Missouri on its inaugural trip across the country to deliver the mail. Arriving at Campo de Cahuenga in the historic Cahuenga Pass on October 7 or 8, where it changed horses and departed for the Mission San Fernando 15 miles distant. This major feat heralded the first overland transcontinental mail service across the United States, an event that can be compared in significance to the advent of the internet today. Celebrations are taking place across the country to acknowledge the importance of stage lines in the 19th century.


You are invited to follow the stage on October 19 and celebrate at each of the four official events along the San Fernando Valley route.
