Fremont</a>'s 1845 exploration party which included <a href="/wiki/Kit_Carson" title="Kit Carson">Kit Carson</a> and Ed Kern. Later the entire valley became known as The Owens Valley (see First Settlers below). The <a href="/wiki/Northern_Paiute" class="mw-redirect" title="Northern Paiute">Paiute Indians</a> called Owens Lake by the name of "Pacheta" and the <a href="/wiki/Owens_River" title="Owens River">Owens River</a> "Wakopee." Geographically, Inyo County is today the second largest county in California with a population of slightly over 18,000 residents. The county is so large that several eastern states put together would fit neatly within its boundaries. Inyo County contains both the highest and lowest points in the contiguous United States; <a href="/wiki/Mount_Whitney" title="Mount Whitney">Mt. Whitney</a>, 14,496 feet (4,418 m) above sea level, and <a href="/wiki/Badwater_Basin" title="Badwater Basin">Badwater</a> in <a href="/wiki/Death_Valley" title="Death Valley">Death Valley</a>, 282 feet (86 m) below sea level. The "Inyo" in Inyo County is commonly believed to be a Paiute word meaning "dwelling place of the great spirit," although some scholars are now convinced that it is a mistranslation of the word <i>Indio</i>, which is Spanish for Indian. It is possible that the Paiute were trying to explain to the earliest English speaking settlers in the Owens Valley that this was their land by using a form of "Indio" they had learned from other Indian tribes, who in turn, had learned it from the Spanish or Mexicans, not realizing that not all Europeans spoke the same language. Thus Inyo may actually mean "Indian Land."<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.

In 1861 cattlemen drove herds of cattle some three hundred miles from the great San Joaquin Valley of California, through the southern Sierra at Walker Pass, up the Owens Valley, and then through Adobe Meadows to Aurora. Along the way, some cattlemen noticed that the unsettled northern Owens Valley was perfect for raising livestock. </p><p>To avoid the long journey from the other side of the mountains, a few of them decided to settle in the valley. Driving about 600 head of cattle and 50 horses, <a href="/wiki/Samuel_Addison_Bishop" title="Samuel Addison Bishop">Samuel Addison Bishop</a>, his wife, and several hired hands arrived in the Owens Valley on August 22, 1861 from <a href="/wiki/Fort_Tejon" title="Fort Tejon">Fort Tejon</a> in the <a href="/wiki/Tehachapi_Mountains" title="Tehachapi Mountains">Tehachapi Mountains</a>. Along with Henry Vansickle, Charles Putnam, Allen Van Fleet, and the McGee brothers, Bishop was one of the first white settlers in the valley. </p><p>Sheepmen soon followed the cattlement and they initially struggled due to a lack of forage for their stock in the area.

Establishing a homestead, the <a href="/wiki/San_Francis_Ranch" title="San Francis Ranch">San Francis Ranch</a>, along the creek which still bears his name, Samuel Bishop set up a market to sell beef to the miners and business owners in Aurora. One of the residents of Aurora at that time was a young <a href="/wiki/Samuel_Clemens" class="mw-redirect" title="Samuel Clemens">Samuel Clemens</a> who later gained fame as author <a href="/wiki/Mark_Twain" title="Mark Twain">Mark Twain</a> (see Twain's book <a href="/wiki/Roughing_It" title="Roughing It">Roughing It</a> for his comments on the area). By 1862, a frontier settlement (and later town), known as <a href="/wiki/Bishop_Creek_(Inyo_County)" title="Bishop Creek (Inyo County)">Bishop Creek</a>, was established a couple of miles east of the San Francis Ranch.
