==History==
The original name of Butterfield Valley, found on the first topographic map of the region was "Nigger Valley" and was not renamed by the U. S. Geological Survey until 1970.〔( California, Ramona Quadrangle, 1903 reprinted 1941 )〕 It was named after Jim Hamilton, an African American man who settled there as a squatter on the east end of the Rancho Pauba in the later 19th century. Eventually he lost this land in a lawsuit in the late 1860s. He moved out to the lands of the Cahuilla, were the Anza Valley, was first known as the ''Hamilton Plain'', and Hamilton Creek still bears his name.〔Steve Lech, Pioneers of Riverside County: The Spanish, Mexican, and Early American Periods, Arcadia Publishing, Dec 10, 2012, Notes, Chapter 4, note 58.〕 Hamilton was married to an native American woman and had three sons, two became U. S. Marshals, one was killed in the line of duty at San Jacinto, California. The two surviving sons married native women also.〔Edgar F. Hastings, “An Interview with HARRY P. JONES” (March 10, 1960), Seth Mallios, Sarah Stroud, Lauren Lingley, Jaime Lennox, Hillary Sweeney, Olivia Smith, and David Caterino, Archaeological Excavations at the Nate Harrison Site in San Diego County, California: An Interim Technical Report for the 2005 Field Season, © 2006 by San Diego State University, Department of Anthropology〕
