The communities of Agua Mansa and La Placita, across from each other along the Santa Ana River, were the first non-native settlements in the San Bernardino Valley and had the first church and school. These villages were the largest settlement between New Mexico, and Los Angeles during the 1840s. Today, the Agua Mansa Pioneer Cemetery is all that remains of these once- thriving communities.
With the help of Friends of Agua Mansa Pioneer Cemetery, a full-size replica of the San Salvador church was constructed and dedicated in 1978 within the cemetery boundaries and is used today as a museum.
Agua Mansa Pioneer Cemetery is today an oasis with its many markers in Spanish and natural setting providing a respectful glimpse into the past.
A listing of those buried at Agua Mansa Pioneer Cemetery is available on the web site.
A branch of the San Bernardino County Museum.
