According to the Köppen Climate Classification system, Pollock Pines has a warm-summer Mediterranean climate, abbreviated Csa on climate maps. Sly Park, near Pollock Pines, noted for its beautiful surroundings, has always been a favorite stopping place. Before Jenkinson Lake came to be, the area was a large, flower covered meadow with spring fed streams. This is where the Maidu and Miwok people came in the summer and fall to hunt and gather food. In 1848, part of the Mormon Battalion made its way to present day Sly Park area with its rich meadow lands and continued on to blaze the trail east. The earliest known settlers in Sly Park were Hiram O. Bryant and William Stonebreaker, who on June 24, 1853, each claimed 160 acres of adjoining land (just east of the present main dam) for agriculture and grazing. They built houses and outhouses and the place became known as Sly Park Ranch. In 1951, after 27 years of effort, the Bureau of Reclamation began to clear the area and build Sly Park Dam. Storage of water was started in November 1954, and the resulting 41,000-acre feet capacity lake was named after Walter Jenkinson who persevered to make it a reality. This helped solve the need for water in the area by the El Dorado Irrigation District. One of the original Pony Express stations (Twelve Mile House) was located in Pollock Pines. A stopping place for stages and teams of the Comstock, it became a relay station of the Central Overland Pony Express. Pollock Pines was primarily a lumber community. The town is named for H.R. Pollock, who operated a lumber mill in the area in the early 1900s. The first post office opened in 1936. The name celebrates the Pollock family, who were early settlers.
