History & History Related Items
Los Banos history: One of the first groups to enter the area was Gabriel Moraga with a troop of Spanish Calvary. They came over from the San Francisco Presidio in order to explore the San Joaquin Valley in 1805. They were impressed by the wildlife they saw in abundance. After Moraga, a Franciscan monk, Padre Felipe Arroyo de la Cuesta, visited the area regularly from his home at Mission San Juan Bautista from 1808 to 1833. He found many pools of water at the tops of the mountains. He would often camp at these pools on his journeys. Local ranchers who heard of the pools named the creek, "El Arroyo de Los Banos del Padre Arroyo." Eventually the name was shortened to "Los Banos Crick."
In 1873, Gus Kreyenhagen, a local resident, opened a trading post. The U.S. Post Office Department opened a post office at the post and named it Los Banos. Henry Miller came over from the San Francisco area to begin ranching in the mid-1800s. He later formed the San Joaquin and Kings River Canal and Irrigation Company in 1871 that would transform the area. He began to grow cotton, rice and alfalfa here, being the first to do so. He was also instrumental in getting the railroad into the area. To this day, agriculture remains an important part of the local economy. Here is some history information for Los Banos.
