Hill Valley is a fictional town in California 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 dystopian alternate 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.
66-522: The city 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. For Back to the Future , the producers considered filming the town square scenes in the real city of Petaluma, California , but soon realized it would be prohibitively expensive and impractical to alter
132-520: A prohibitionism era mafioso, avoid his lengthy incarceration for illegal consumption and sale of alcohol. In the alternate 1986 Biff Tannen has two brothers, and the Tannen family is a recognized crime family, ruling over Hill Valley with an iron grip. In yet another alternate history, branching off the events of Back to the Future: The Game , in 1931 a teen Emmett Brown, fell in love with

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
264-534: A Black mayor. In Black Space: Imagining Race in Science Fiction Film , Adilifu Nama writes, "The film performs robust semiotic work around race by symbolically associating the degraded cityscape of Hill Valley with inept black leadership. Marty's personal family crisis, marked by a socially impotent father and an alcoholic mother, is mirrored in the condition of Hill Valley. Boarded-up businesses, schoolyard graffiti, and an adult-video bookstore placed in
330-599: A corrupt family man as well as town ruler. He helped Richard Nixon remain President of the United States until at least 1985. Biff's effect on history affected the whole world – in this version of history, the Vietnam War was still ongoing by May 1983. According to the original script for Back to the Future Part II a partial view of the alternate 2015 was also to be depicted. By this time Biff now owns half
396-460: A deliberate choice on the part of the filmmakers. The production designer of Back to the Future Part II , Rick Carter, is quoted in a DVD extra as saying, "The future is built on the present." Director Robert Zemeckis adds that the continuity between the different eras in Hill Valley's history is an example of the adage, "the more things change, the more they stay the same". The following is
462-462: A fire at Whittier High School, California , where some, mostly exterior scenes were filmed, destroyed the men's gym there. On June 1, 2008, another fire destroyed part of the rebuilt Courthouse Square backlot and damaged the clock tower. Other real-life shooting locations of Hill Valley landmarks include: According to an 1885 Central Pacific Railroad map in Back to the Future Part III , Hill Valley
528-407: A ghost town with herself as the only resident. As a result of her actions, Marty and Doc witness 1931 Hill Valley disappear and be replaced by a valley made of hills, implying that this was how Hill Valley got its name in the first place. Again, Marty and Doc manage to restore the continuity, that now sports minor alterations: Arthur and Silvia, Marty's grandparents, prepone their marriage to 1931. It
594-410: A list of such places. When a place is not seen or mentioned in a movie, it is marked unknown . Some buildings shown in 1885 scenes are actually located further down the street in an area not shown in the first two movies. Back to the Future has been criticized for presenting an idealized 1950s setting almost entirely populated by White people, and contrasting this with a more troubled 1985 town run by
660-579: A number of single-word oxymorons built from "dependent morphemes" (i.e. no longer a productive compound in English, but loaned as a compound from a different language), as with pre-posterous (lit. "with the hinder part before", compare hysteron proteron , " upside-down ", " head over heels ", " ass-backwards " etc.) or sopho-more (an artificial Greek compound, lit. "wise-foolish"). The most common form of oxymoron involves an adjective – noun combination of two words, but they can also be devised in

#1732783763356792-560: A word or in a phrase that is a self-contradiction . As a rhetorical device , an oxymoron illustrates a point to communicate and reveal a paradox . A general meaning of "contradiction in terms" is recorded by the 1902 edition of the Oxford English Dictionary. The term oxymoron is first recorded as Latinized Greek oxymōrum , in Maurus Servius Honoratus (c. AD 400); it is derived from
858-443: Is a technological dystopia , where Emmett Brown oversees a fascist regime, controlling every single activity of his citizens, routinely brainwashed and spied over. In this new Hill Valley, in a reversal of their usual roles, Marty McFly is a square , serious and devoted to Emmett Brown to a fault, as the "original" McFly is dismayed to discover, and Jennifer is a rebellious rocker , a wild child with an unpredictable streak. Lorraine
924-563: Is a technologically advanced marvel, owned by a now rich and powerful Emmett Brown, with even the iconic Town Hall replaced by a huge pane with the E. Brown Industries symbol.

The last attempt to fix

The population
1188-424: Is an oxymoron. This is called an "opinion oxymoron" by Lederer (1990). The humor derives from implying that an assumption (which might otherwise be expected to be controversial or at least non-evident) is so obvious as to be part of the lexicon . An example of such a "comical oxymoron" is " educational television ": the humor derives entirely from the claim that it is an oxymoron by the implication that "television"
1254-416: Is depicted with a partial history. Due to the influence of the powerful and corrupt Biff Tannen , gambling was legalized in 1979. Tannen's toxic waste reclamation plants were built downtown, polluting the air and leading to pollution alerts to be issued. All of the local businesses in the downtown area closed or relocated and were replaced with strip clubs , porn theaters , and brothels . Tannen bought off

'when they are silent, they cry out'), "melancholy merriment" ( Byron ), "faith unfaithful", "falsely true" ( Tennyson ), "conventionally unconventional", "tortuous spontaneity" ( Henry James ) "delighted sorrow", "loyal treachery", and "scalding coolness" ( Hemingway ). In literary contexts,
1518-460: Is so trivial as to be inherently incompatible with "education". In a 2009 article called "Daredevil", Garry Wills accused William F. Buckley of popularizing this trend, based on the success of the latter's claim that "an intelligent liberal is an oxymoron". Examples popularized by comedian George Carlin in 1975 include "military intelligence" (a play on the lexical meanings of the term "intelligence", implying that "military" inherently excludes
1584-412: Is taken directly from places and events shown or mentioned in the three films: The town of Hill Valley was first settled in 1850 and incorporated in 1865.

1716-481: The Universal Studios Hollywood backlot destroyed much of Courthouse Square , the setting in which all the other time periods were filmed. The Courthouse survived the devastation and other facades were reconstructed. Another fire on September 6, 1997 damaged Courthouse Square.

A key moment in the town's fictional history takes place on Saturday, November 12, 1955, at 10:04 p.m. PST, when lightning strikes
2310-508: The Future , "was to take a place and show what happens to it over a period of thirty years. What happened to everybody's home town is obviously the same thing. They built the mall out in the boonies, and killed all the business downtown, and everything changed." By the 21st century, the downtown area has experienced a revival. The courthouse has been converted into the Courthouse Mall. Businesses have begun to move back into and around

The Essex movie theater now shows porno movies while
2574-428: The author does not usually signal the use of an oxymoron, but in rhetorical usage, it has become common practice to advertise the use of an oxymoron explicitly to clarify the argument, as in: In this example, "Epicurean pessimist" would be recognized as an oxymoron in any case, as the core tenet of Epicureanism is equanimity (which would preclude any sort of pessimist outlook ). However, the explicit advertisement of

2838-495: The formation of the Latin term. Oxymorons in the narrow sense are a rhetorical device used deliberately by the speaker and intended to be understood as such by the listener. In a more extended sense, the term "oxymoron" has also been applied to inadvertent or incidental contradictions, as in the case of " dead metaphors " ("barely clothed" or "terribly good"). Lederer (1990), in the spirit of "recreational linguistics", goes as far as to construct "logological oxymorons" such as reading
