Chowchilla is rich in historical sites, once home to the Chowchilla Indians who lived along the several channels of the Chowchilla River in the plains region of Central California. From what is known the tribe may have well been very populous and were a warlike one and the name Chowchilla was a byword for bravery to the southernmost end of Yokuts territory in the southern end of the San Joaquin Valley.
