The rudimentary structure was situated on a small hill overlooking thousands of acres of open space. The land, with its natural spring, was once part of the Indian village area of Puvungna. Later, Californios , Spanish settlers in what is now the state of California, erected several small adobe dwellings in the midst of their cattle ranges. Successive owners made changes to one of these adobes until it was transformed into an elegant 18-room ranch house.

Like hundreds of similar buildings across the nation — in small towns and large — the building is locally significant because of its association with a prominent man of the community and because of its attractive architectural style. The unusually wide and sweeping main street — Euclid Avenue — was the creation of the town?s original founder, George Chaffey.

Unlike other places, the gold in California was both plentiful and easy to get--at least at first. The result would be profound changes in California, America, and the entire world. Gold was first discovered in California by James Marshall in early 1848. Later that year, gold seekers from the west coast converged on the American River--50 miles or so from Sacramento--where Marshall first saw the shiny metal.

Be aware, though, that the commonly-accepted story of Father Dumetz coming to San Bernardino to conduct the Mass in 1810 is probably incorrect. The historians of the San Bernardino Diocese seem convinced that Father Dumetz was probably too sick and too old to have made the journey. Does this destroy the history? No -- it just makes it a little bit more hazy. What is known is that sometime before 1819, someone came here and saw an Indian village, went back to San Gabriel, and told about it. Were they under Father Dumetz' direction? Probably. The exact site of the naming of San Bernardino is also under a cloud of haziness.

They did not intend to treat the sick here, but wanted to make a resort where the wealthy could rest in the country. It was a great idea, but many of the wealthy already had their own country homes in Redlands, Pasadena and other places.

The history of California changed forever in 1848 when gold was discovered near John Sutter's mill. Within the year over 80,000 gold seekers were prospecting in hopes of making their fortune in gold. Treasure in the Stream is the story of an ordinary farm family that found itself in the middle of the gold frenzy that was sweeping the country.

He has reported his findings to the United States government officials. The officials are worried about another Gold Rush like the one in 1849, which was uncontrolled and led to many problems. They decide to have a competition. The small towns of Sleepyville, Deer Valley, Pinetown and Quiet Gulch all lie along the Trout River. The government offers a generous amount of the tax money that the miners will pay to the town that comes up with the best plan for managing the crowds that will come to the area once the discovery is announced. That town will be designated as the official Boom Town of 1875. Each town is asked to consider transportation, housing, Read More Go to Site Teacher Lesson Plan - Conservation at a Crossroads Votes:0 The Library of Congress The Conservation Movement at a Crossroads: The Hetch Hetchy Controversy Michael Federspiel and Timothy Hall The debate over damming the Hetch Hetchy Valley in Yosemite National Park marked a crossroads in the American conservation movement. Until this debate, conservationists seemed fairly united in their aims. San Francisco's need for a reliable water supply, along with a new political dynamic at the federal level, created a division between those committed to preserving the wilderness and those more interested in efficient management of its use. While this confrontation happened nearly one hundred years ago, it contains many of the same arguments which are used today whenever preservationists and conservationists mobilize.
