Random information on the term “POLARIS”:
Polaris was a historic ice farming community located almost 3 miles east of Truckee, approximately at the intersection of modern day Glenshire Drive and Quail Lane. It was named after Polaris, the north star, either by the Central Pacific Railroad in 1867, or by the National Ice Company in 1901 in anticipation of the establishment of a post office.
Its 5695 feet elevation meant that there was plenty of ice around during the winter. After the Transcontinental Railroad came through, entrepreneurs built a number of ice ponds, usually by damming or diverting the Truckee River, around railroad stops such as Winsted (later Polaris) and Boca. Ice harvesting began at Boca in 1868. In 1886, a group of business people formed the Tahoe Ice Company at Winsted. They built a 75 foot dam which created an 80 acre pond used to make ice. They added infrastructure such as roads, stables and a large warehouse, 290′ by 130′, for the harvested ice. It was reckoned to be the most efficient ice harvesting operation on the Truckee River. In 1901, the much larger National Ice Company took over the Tahoe Ice Company and installed D. M. Dysart as manager. Dysart was considered to be the “Ice King of the Sierras,” having been in the ice business over 20 years. He expanded National’s operation at Polaris, and built a house there, affectionately known as the Pink Palace because of its pink asphalt shingles. When he died in 1905, he was capably replaced by Robert Koepke, who ran the operation into the 1920s.
