Jackson and Warner traveled this route in 1831, and Frémont in 1848. It was the Southern Emigrant Trail for gold seekers in 1849 and other immigrants to California from then on. It was the Butterfield Overland Mail route from 1858 to 1861, part of the military road between Los Angeles and Fort Yuma from 1861 to 1866. From 1867 to 1877 it was again part of a stagecoach route between Los Angeles and Yuma, Arizona. With the advent of the automobile it was paved, becoming California State Route 71.[5] |

Beaumont | Chief Juan Antonio and his band of Cahuilla Indians helped Californio settlers in the San Bernardino area defend their property and livestock against outlaws and other tribal raiders during the 1840s and early 1850s. In late 1851, Juan Antonio, his warriors and their families, settled at nearby Saahatpa. During the winter of 1862–63, a smallpox epidemic swept through Southern California killing many Native Americans, including Juan Antonio and many of his people in Saahatpa. Cahuilla tradition asserts that the U.S. Government sent Army blankets that were contaminated with smallpox. After this disaster, Saahatpa was abandoned. |
