Known as Avi-Milikit in Quechan legends, Picacho marked Spanish arrival in 1640, drew Sonora miners after 1852, and served as a mining and milling port reached by steamboats until 1910. Its mines were never worked to extinction, but Picacho became a squatter haven. In the 1960's, California made it a recreation area to preserve its rugged beauty forever.
