A Little History

Just a little history about Pacheco Valle....Named for Ignacio Pacheco, one of California's early pioneers, Pacheco Valle is located in an area of Marin County which was originally the site of several Miwok Villages. A portion of Pacheco Valle history is preserved in perpetuity through the purchase of land by the Pacheco Valle residents and transferred to the Marin Open Space District. This protects a Miwok midden, or burial site, which is dated to be 3,000 years old.  To see how some of our Pacheco streets got their names click here
