History

A group of Mormons arrived in the valley in 1851, making camp at the mouth of a canyon with a creek, which flowed
briskly southeast through the canyon to the valley and the Santa Ana River. Overjoyed with the abundance of
water, the dense growth of willows, cottonwoods and sycamores and the mustard and wild oats that grew on
the hillsides, the settlers of San Bernardino named the stream "Lytle Creek" after their leader, Captain Andrew Lytle. Lytle
Creek Canyon has been a site for gold mining, farming and recreation activities such as fishing, camping,
picnicking, and hiking. It has been considered a recreational area since the early 1870s.
