History
Kirkwood’s mountains, valleys, lakes and rivers hold a special place in the history of our country, having afforded many solace, shelter and opportunity through its abundant natural resources and unique location in the Sierra Nevada mountain range.
The original native people of the Kirkwood area are the Washo, a tribe whose history spans nearly 9,000 years. The Washo people created a way of life that utilized seasonal migration and where they could live in harmony with the land.
