A hotel was built in 1865. San Gregorio boomed through the 1870's like many a small town in the U.S. By the 1890's, San Gregorio had 2 stores, 3 blacksmith shops, 3 saloons, the hotel, a rooming house, a church, and the school. The advent of the automobile started to change the farming economy. In the twenties, the big farms started to take over the small farms, crops were now shipped by truck. Prohibition and the depression took its toll. San Gregorio became a ghost town.
To learn more about the Native Americans that lived here for thousands of years go to the Indian Canyon website. There is a map at their site which shows the tribes that lived in this area.
