Gateway to the Sequoias

Three Rivers California is located on the Kaweah River at the junction of its three or more tributaries and is the gateway to
Sequoia National Park.

Before the mid-1850's the area was populated by the Yokut Indian Tribe who found the native oak trees, plants, fish, small animals, etc to be a veritable Eden for their survival. 1856 saw the first documented appearance of the white man into the area. His name was Hale Tharp and he settled on the river bottom,
raising cattle and hogs.

By the 1870's many other farmers had come to the Three Rivers country and found it a secluded and ideal place to raise their domestic livestock. In addition, many orchards of fruit and citrus trees were planted and thrived in the area. Veins of silver ore began to show up in the Mineral King area.
