About
-
Before the arrival of Europeans in the 1850s, Three Rivers was populated by the Yokuts who found the native oak trees, buckeyes, plants, fish, deer, birds, ducks, squirrels, rabbits and other small animals created a little paradise for their survival, at least during the fall, winter and the spring. Back then, most California natives had two homes, one in the winter and a different one in the summer, and the Yokuts in Three Rivers were no different.
