I am doing a research on the history of Moorpark Calif. and I am trying to find out more information about Grimes Canyon. I know it was named after Robert Grimes but I want to know why. Who was he that a city would name a road after him? His wife was Mae but there is nothing in "The Moorpark Story" by Norma Gunter, about them. Was the Norwegian Grade the same as Grimes Canyon? Please let me know anything you find out. Thanks, Bren Mercado
