Agua Mansa, California
Agua Mansa ("gentle water")〔 is a former settlement in an unincorporated area of San Bernardino County, California, United States. Now a ghost town, only the cemetery remains,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Agua Mansa )〕 it once was the largest settlement in San Bernardino County. The town was established in 1845 on the Santa Ana River, across from the town of La Placita. Agua Mansa and La Placita were the first non-native settlements in the San Bernardino Valley.〔 Together known as "San Salvador",〔 they were also the largest settlements between New Mexico and Los Angeles in the 1840s.
==History==
In 1845, Donald Juan Bandini donated parts of his Rancho Jurupa to a group of colonists from Abiquiú, New Mexico on the condition that they would assist in protecting his stock from Indian raids. Ten of these families moved to on the "Bandini Donation" on the east side of the Santa Ana River, forming the village of La Placita while a second group colonized the west side of the river, forming the town of Agua Mansa.〔 The group that formed Agua Mansa was led by Don Jose Tomas Salajar, and included Cristobal Slover and Louis Rubidoux.〔
After the adobe church built in La Placita in 1852 collapsed in quicksand, a new church was built in Agua Mansa. Completed in 1853 and dedicated to San Salvador, the church survived through the Great Flood of 1862.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Agua Mansa Pioneer Cemetery )〕 The parish, which included Agua Mansa and La Placita, became known as San Salvador de Jurupa, and was the first non-mission parish in Southern California. The chapel's bell now hangs at the Glenwood Mission Inn.
The town prospered for almost 20 years until the 1862 flooding swept away many of the adobe buildings, leaving the area strewn with sand and gravel. Though the town was rebuilt on higher ground, its prosperity did not return. Built in 1870, the Jensen Alvarado Ranch is a California Historical Landmark and is listed on the National Register of Historical Places. Its vineyard produced and sold thousands of gallons of wine each year.
