Area History
History of Los Banos
Los Banos has a great history! Back before the times
of the Padres and their missions- there were the Yokut tribe
of Indians. There was a Franciscan monk by the name of Padre
Filipe Arroya living at the Mission San Juan Bautista from
between 1808-1833- and he, we think, is the one who named
our town Los Banos (the Baths). But you know- this water
is very cold - and it is difficult to find anyone taking
a bath in that cold water.
The gold miners from around the area shortened
the name of "Los Banos del Padre Arroyo" to the "Los Banos
Crick".
The town was founded as a company town by the cattle
baron Henry Miller in the 1860's. Henry Miller drained the
marshlands and put cattle on the land. Henry Miller and Charles
Lux made a partnership in cattle ranching and sheep ranching in
this valley. Miller made the Canal Farm Inn his headquarters. This
area is still standing as a local restaurant and motel. We also
have the Miller and Lux building which is located down town on
6th street across from the Bank of America. Check out these beautiful
buildings one day- they don't make them like that anymore.
May Days are held in Los Banos
because of Henry Miller. Every May 1st he would have one of his
picnics, with a BBQ and visiting with everyone. Los Banos still
keeps this tradition going with the May Day Fair at the fairgrounds.
During May Day there is still a famous parade: animals,
children, fancy floats, school bands, fancy rigs and hotrod cars.
You can just about find everything in the May Day Parade.
