History

Two years later, Dairy Valley voted to become a chartered California city. The colonization process included "civilizing" the native populations in California by means of establishing various Spanish missions in California Soon afterwards, a town called 'El Pueblo de Nuestra Señora la Reina de los Ángeles de Porciúncula' (Los Angeles today) would be founded and prosper with the aid of subjects from New Spain and Native American labor. Eighty-two people died, including 15 people on the ground. The City of Dairy Valley was incorporated on April 24, 1956, as a reaction to nearby Artesia's rapid urbanization. Beginning in the late 1400s, Spanish explorers arrived in the New World and worked their way to the California coast in 1542.
