It is home to Palisades Tahoe (formerly Squaw Valley Ski Resort), the site of the 1960 Winter Olympics; Since the 1960 Winter Olympics, the community has also been known as Olympic Valley, based on a post office by this name. On August 28, 1958, at the behest of Representative B. F. Sisk, the United States Board on Geographic Names decided that "Squaw Valley" would only refer to an older community in Fresno County. Nevertheless, in informal usage, "Squaw Valley" continued to refer to either community, creating considerable confusion. As of 2022, the United States Postal Service recommends "Olympic Valley" as the city name for the 96146 ZIP code, and this name now refers to the surrounding valley as well; 39.19631°N 120.23356°W)
