Historical Information about Morgan Hill
As many as 10,000 Mutsun Ohlone or Costanoan Indians as the Spaniards called them. (meaning Costanos or "coast people", were indigous to the area for thousands of years before the advent of the Spanish. This native American tribe fished and hunted this area from as far noth as San Francisco to as far south as Monterey. In 1776, Captain Juan Bautista de Anza and his group were the first Europeans to enter Morgan Hill and the surrounding area.

Morgan Hill was named after Morgan Hill's Ranch and country retreat, owned and operated by Diana and Hiram Morgan Hill. It was a popular train stop for tourists and locals alike and thus became the name Morgan Hill. The area was incorporated in 1906 with a population of just over 1000 people.
