History

The area, up to the mid-19th century, was inhabited by the Cahuilla people. In 1824 it became part of the Mission San Gabriel Arcangel, and then the Rancho San Gorgonio. The first Anglo to settle in the area was Dr. Isaac Smith in 1853. In 1863 a smallpox epidemic further diminished the Cahuilla. The government created Indian reservations for the Cahuilla in 1877. The Cahuilla are a group of Native Americans that have inhabited California for more than 2000 years, originally covering an area of about 2,400 square miles (6,200 km²). Evidence shows that when the Cahuilla first moved into the area a large body of water now called Lake Cahuilla... 1824 was a leap year starting on Thursday (see link for calendar). ...

The first stagecoach line came through in 1862, and the railroad followed in 1876. US Highway 99 was built in 1923, followed by US60-70 in 1936, and subsequently Interstate 10. The Southern Pacific (later purchased by Union Pacific) railroad, laid down in 1881, was a major contributor to the area's growth. Banning borders the Morongo Indian Reservation. The region around Banning was originally Maringayam (Serrano), and the Cahuilla expanded into the pass only in historic times. Relations with reservation residents have been stressed by such actions as disputes over water rights.
