For centuries, Apple Valley was populated by Shoshonean, Paiute, Vanyume, Chemehuevi and the Serrano who were attracted to the water and vegetation around the Mojave River. The Mojave people came shortly afterwards.

Mojave Native Americans’ life centered around the river. They relied on annual overflow to irrigate their crops of melon, corn, pumpkin and beans. Mojave people would gather mesquite beans as well as other wild seeds and roots. They would use traps and nets to take game and fish from the river. They were traders, and would follow the trails as far as the Pacific coast to obtain items that were not available to them in the desert. The Mojave were the tribal group encountered in 1542 by a detachment of Coronado's men. These were the first Spanish to come to the Mojave desert.
