The wetlands in and around the territory gave everything the local individuals required, including salmon, sturgeon, and game, for example, elk and deer. For a long time the conjunction of Beer Creek, Los Banos Creek, and the San Joaquin River with its enormous watershed, shielded the district from early Spanish investigation. In that capacity, the Yokuts had the option to live in relative confinement until the 18th century. In 1805 Gabriel Moraga, with his group of Spanish Calvary from the Presidio of San Francisco came riding through the Pacheco Pass compelled from the Spanish Governor of California to investigate the San Joaquin Valley. This buoyant pioneer and his gathering arrived at the valley floor and jogged directly over the zone where the City of Los Banos now stands.

Padre Felipe Arroyo de la Cuesta on such visits found pools of water in the stones of the summit of the mountains in a little spring bed that streamed down into the San Joaquin Valley. By these pools, he named the region "Los Banos", which signified "The Baths". Reports of these showers prompted the neighbourhood farmers naming the spring "El Arroyo de Los Banos del Padre Arroyo".

Mill operator tried to get the railroad to reach out through the West Side and that inevitably chose the present-day area of Los Banos.

A progression of water system and dam extends during the 1960s got ranchers to search for arable land. From 1970 to 1985, populace development started to stagnate.
