INTRODUCTION
The history of San Bernardino County is one of absorbing interest, made so by the circumstances attending its settlement and the romantic and picturesque features which have marked practically every- step of its development. Its solitary missions still breathe the spirit of the venture- some zealots who were their founders; survivors of the Indian tribes remain to recall to the mind the period when this race ruled the state ; evidences of the Mormon occupation still abound, and among the older residents are many who remember the days of the pioneers and who have passed through a period of development that has been as wonderful as that which has transformed any county in the state, or any state in the nation.
It was a happy inspiration that caused San Bernardino to be considered "Imperial County." It is doubtful if any other county in the state possesses such a wide variety of valuable mineral resources ; an extensive timber area is found on the mountains, and the mountain streams furnish power, not only for San Bernardino, but for adjacent counties; irrigation water for the great and fertile San Bernardino Valley, extending through four counties, is secured from the great storage basin and the Santa Ana River ; the mountain passes furnish a gateway between the Pacific Coast and points to the east ; in the matter of citrus products the county is one of the foremost in the state; and even the deserts and barren mountain ranges contribute to the prosperity and prestige of the county, being the location of mines that have placed San Bernardino in the front rank of mining counties. Likewise the county is "Imperial" in its size and in the spirit and character of its people.
Lying in the southeastern part of the state, San Bernardino County is bounded on the north by Inyo County, on the west by Kern and Los Angeles Counties, on the south by Riverside County and on the east by Nevada and Arizona. The area of the county is 20,235 square miles, of which about 575 square miles are devoted to agriculture, 700 acres are dry lakes, mountain ranges occupy 8,000, and deserts cover 10,960 square miles. The population of the county in 1921 was about 25,000. The desert surface extends from the Sierra Madre mountains in the southwest corner of the county to its northern boundary and eastward to Nevada and the Colorado River, and is broken by numerous miniature mountain ranges and isolated peaks, by oases where springs are to be found by the thirsty traveler and by dry lakes, while its only river, the Mojave, rising in the mountains, flows in a northeasterly course until swallowed up by the desert sands. The arroyo, or river bed, is traceable for nearly 100 miles and at points the water rises to the surface in considerable volume.
