History
[edit]Spanish colonists arrived in the valley in the eighteenth century and encountered indigenous people who they referred to as "Serranos" living there. The Serranos had established a few permanent settlements in the mountains, and also lived in the area during the summer months of the year. They may have moved into the area some 3,000 years prior.[2]
