On March 16, 1774, Juan Bautista de Anza, Indian fighter, explorer, and colonizer, led through this pass (named by him San Carlos) the first white explorers to cross the mountains into California. The party traveled from Tubac, Arizona, to Monterey, California on December 27, 1775. On a second expedition into California, Anza led through this pass the party of Spaniards from Sonora who became the founders of San Francisco.
