HistoryEdit

File:Yucaipa Adobe, CA 2-15-15 (16548661062).jpg

Yucaipa Adobe, built in 1842, by Californio ranchero Diego Sepúlveda, is the oldest building in the city.

Template:Infobox historic site Prior to the Spanish colonization of the Americas and the arrival of European settlers from Mexico, the Yucaipa Valley was known as Yukaipa't, which meant "green valley" in the Serrano American Language.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> The land was home to the Serrano Native Americans for thousands of years.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Today, some of their descendants are enrolled in the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

Yucaipa RancheriaEdit

Yucaipa Valley supported a large population of Serrano Native Americans. The fertile valley was watered by springs and creeks running out of the San Bernardino Mountains. The Serrano Americans lived in this location most of the year, but would make excursions into the mountains to gather acorns and other food items during their harvest season. The Rancheria is marked by California Historical Landmark #620.<ref name=CHL>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

Yucaipa AdobeEdit

Template:Infobox historic site

Near the Rancheria is the Yucaipa Adobe, which is believed to be the oldest house in San Bernardino County. Diego Sepúlveda, nephew of Antonio María Lugo, built the Adobe in 1842 on land that was part of the Rancho San Bernardino granted in 1842 to the Lugos. It had formerly been land controlled by San Gabriel Mission. The Rancho suffered losses of cattle and horses from raids by Native Americans coming through Cajon Pass and Banning Pass from the deserts. Eventually, they sold the Rancho to Mormon settlers in September 1851. The Adobe's later owners included John Brown Sr., James W. Waters, and the Dunlap family; it was acquired by San Bernardino County in 1955. The site is marked by California Historical Landmark #528.<ref name=CHL/>

The nearby Oak Glen area is best known for its apple orchards, some of which are operated by the direct descendants of the original founders (the Parrish, Wilshire, Rivers, and Law families). The Parrish Pioneer Ranch and orchard were founded by Enoch Parrish in 1876, with the other families coming into the area later.
