It was not only a historic gathering place, but also a home to the predecessors who lived in the village of Yu'kai'pat. This sun-kissed land is rich in natural resources, with plenty of water and vegetation that provides for people and wild animals alike. The bounty of the land provided the nickname "Breadbasket of Southern California" in the 1800s and the "Egg Basket" during the 20th century. The people of Yucaipa take pride in living in a real hometown with good schools, a college, and sports programs. Residents also see to the protection of their wildlife neighbors with a state park, a county regional park, 11 city parks, and a trails system for everyone to enjoy the great outdoors. The Yucaipa Valley Historical Society, an active group of 100 volunteers, is dedicated to the preservation of their community's history and heritage by keeping the memory of the past alive and by passing on the legacy of family, friends, and good memories to many future generations. |
