Captain Juan Bautista de Anza's second Mormon Battalion expedition marched through this little pass December 19, 1775 on its way to strengthen Spanish colonization in California. Many of the 240 members of the party were recruited from Mexico to be the first residents of San Francisco.
They had camped the preceding night somewhere in the wide flats just east of this monument.
It's located on State Hwy 78 (P.M. 93.8), 1.6 mi E of Ocotillo Wells.
