Watsonville’s land was first inhabited by an Indian tribe called the Costanoans. This tribe settled along the Pajaro Dunes since the land was fertile and useful for the cultivation of their plants and animals.

During the October 10 march, the explorers first saw the Coast redwood tree (Spanish: palo colorado). A bronze plaque at Pinto Lake commemorates the event. On October 15, the expedition continued to the northwest past today’s community of Freedom, camping that night at Corralitos Lagoon.
