From about 1832 to 1845, French-Canadian trappers employed by the Hudson’s Bay Company used this place as the terminus of the Oregon-California Trail. Michel La Framboise and other fur trappers met here annually and camped with their families. In 1844 Charles M. Weber and William Gulnac promoted the first white settlement colony on Rancho del Camp de los Franceses, which included French Camp and the site of Stockton.
