99 Oaks is an archaic placename of the Santa Clarita Valley, Los Angeles County, California in the United States.[1] The location was mainly a rest stop between Castaic and Castaic Junction in what was then a fairly remote location along Old Highway 99.[2] Otis and Macy Andrews opened the 99 Oaks Café in 1936.[3] Circa 1950, 99 Oaks had a service station and a café.[4] The name 99 Oaks was later used for buildings nearby, such as 99 Oaks Auto Court in Mint Canyon,[5] 99 Oaks Cabins in Castaic,[6] and the 99 Oaks Car Lot in Newhall.[7] What little there was of 99 Oaks "mostly disappeared" when Route 99 was replaced by Interstate 5 in 1968.[8]
