Spanish explorer Gabriel Moraga and his party discovered the river in 1806, triggering a clash between the Mexican officials and the Indians. Chief Estanislao, a mission-educated native, led the Indians in battles against the Mexican intruders. After years of unrest, peace was eventually made, and immigration began in earnest in 1845. Because of this bit of history, the river was named the Estanislao until an early mapmaker misspelled it and the river became known as Stanislaus (pronounced both Stan-is-law or Stan-is-loss). The discovery of gold at Sutter's Mill near Sacramento sparked the Gold Rush of 1849, bringing tens of thousands of fortune hunters to California and spurring the settlement of countless cities and counties throughout the state. Stanislaus was among them, established in 1854, just five years after the first gold was discovered. With the valley's rich soil and temperate year-round climate, settlers soon began to cultivate the land, planting the seeds to what would become an agricultural legacy. In the early years, wheat was the dominant crop. The amber waves of grain stretched across the valley as far as the eye could see. In fact, by 1872 the county was already recognized as the leading center of wheat production in the nation, and in 1881, the county reaped an astounding harvest of nearly seven million bushels.
