The history and activities of the Los Banos tribes in the region show our early prehistoric days; coastal Indian tribes used Pacheco Pass and traded with others at its crossroads, where the Pacheco Creek flows in four directions. Water has played an important resource in California development. In the 20th century, aqueducts were built to bring water to the Sierra Nevada and the Colorado River to help meet the needs of growing cities, such as Los Angeles and San Francisco. Irrigated agriculture, a major water user in California, is also sustained in large part by supplies conveyed from other areas. The California Aqueduct, which runs from the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta to Lake Perris in Riverside County, is 444 miles long. It was built to provide water for our homes, farms and factories.
The area surrounding Los Banos was once a marshy area and was drained by Henry Miller. He began farming and cattle ranching in the community of Los Banos. The richness of the area is found in the natural lay of the terrain in the valley, the vast marshes of the Merced County and the more than 550 species of plants and animals which inhabit this region. The grasslands that encompass more than one third of the Central Valley's remaining wetlands are approximately 20 by 30 miles in size, creating an incredible landscape whole and dedicated to wildlife.
