Historic Interest
Howard Creek and Ranch are named after Alfred Howard who came to California when he was 12 years old. He and his family bought the original land in the late 1860s and later acquired many hundreds of acres through land grants after the Civil War. The farmhouse, finished in 1871, is probably the earliest structure still standing.
