Information
Type	City
Notable characters	Marty McFly Emmett Brown Biff Tannen

Hill Valley is the fictionaltown in California as shown with the clock that serves as the setting of the Back to the Future trilogy and its animated spin-off series. In the trilogy, Hill Valley is seen in four different time periods (1885, 1955, 1985 and 2015) as well as in a dystopianalternate 1985. The films contain many sight gags, verbal innuendos and detailed set design elements, from which a detailed and consistent history of the area can be derived.

The name 'Hill Valley' is a joke, being an oxymoron. However, an early script for Back to the Future Part II mentioned that Hill Valley was named after its founder, William 'Bill' Hill.

The design of the courthouse facade and Clock Tower is based on the real-life Limestone County Courthouse in Athens, Alabama.

Production[edit]

For Back to the Future, the producers considered filming the town square scenes in the real city of Petaluma, California, but soon realised it would be prohibitively expensive and impractical to alter a real place to suit the different eras.^[1] Instead filming was completed on the Universal Studiosbacklot, where they had more control.^[2] The main location, once called Mockingbird Square after the 1962 film To Kill a Mockingbird but now known as Courthouse Square, had been used for many films and television shows. One notable example is the very first episode of the sci-fi series The Twilight Zone, called 'Where Is Everybody?' in 1959.^[3] The Hill Valley courthouse can also be found in the movies Bruce Almighty, Gremlins, Bye Bye Birdie, Sneakers, The Offspring's music video 'Why Don't You Get a Job?', an episode of Major Dad entitled 'Who's That Blonde' and even in an episode of Buffy The Vampire Slayer. The clock tower itself was a removable addition, one of many ways in which the Courthouse building has been redressed over the years to suit the needs of a production.

Many of the cars that appear in the 2015 scenes are either modified for the film or concept cars. Examples include Ford Probe, Saab EV-1, Citroën DS 21, Pontiac Banshee Concept, Pontiac Fiero and Volkswagen Beetle. Cars reused from other science fiction films include the 'Star Car' from The Last Starfighter (1984) and a 'Spinner' from Blade Runner (1982). Griff's car is a modified BMW 633 (which was notably never in the convertible form seen in the film).^[4]

For Back to the Future Part III, Hill Valley 1885 was filmed in Sonora, California. The producers were able to use the land rent-free under an agreement to leave the set buildings on site. All buildings except the clock tower were left intact after production completed. On November 6, 1990, an arson fire on the Universal Studios Hollywood backlot destroyed much of Courthouse Square, the setting in which all the other time periods were filmed. However, the Courthouse itself survived the devastation and other facades were reconstructed.^[5] Another fire on September 6, 1997 again damaged Courthouse Square. Once again, the backlot facades were then rebuilt, with the exception of the facades used for Hill Valley 1885.

On February 14, 1999 fire at Whittier High School, California, where some (mostly exterior) scenes were filmed,^[6] destroyed the men's gym there. On June 1, 2008, yet another fire destroyed part of the rebuilt Courthouse Square backlot and damaged the clock tower.^[7]^[8]

Real-life locations[edit]

Other real-life shooting locations of Hill Valley landmarks include:^[6]

Doc's house in 1955 is the Gamble House in Pasadena, California. Doc's garage in 1985 was a façade set up next to a Burger King on North Victory Boulevard in Burbank, California.^[9]
Twin Pines/Lone Pine Mall is actually the Puente Hills Mall in Industry, California.
Marty's Lyon Estates house in 1985 is actually on Roslyndale Avenue in Arleta, California.
The 1955 Lyon Estates field is actually along farmland between the city borders of Chino, California and Corona, California.
Peabody's Twin Pines Ranch is really at Golden Oak Ranch, which is owned by The Walt Disney Company and used in many Disney productions.
The houses of George McFly, Lorraine Baines, and Biff Tannen in 1955 are all in South Pasadena, California.
The train that hit the De Lorean and the Futuristic Train was parked in Port Hueneme, California.
John F. Kennedy Drive is actually Victory Boulevard in Burbank, California.
The River Road Tunnel is actually Observatory Tunnel at Griffith Park in Los Angeles. The actual tunnel is only a fraction of the length of the one depicted in Part II.
The Pohatchee Drive-In Theater where Marty initially travels from 1955 back to 1885 was not a real theater. It was constructed full-scale for the third film in Monument Valley, Utah (near the Arizona/Utah border) and was torn down after that portion of filming was completed.
Marty's race with Needles was shot on Doris Avenue in Oxnard, California.

Location[edit]

According to an 1885 railroad map in Back to the Future Part III, Hill Valley is located in Northern California in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Dialog in Back to the Future Part II and Back to the Future Part III places it in 'Hill County', a fictional county in California.^[10]
