Some history

The original inhabitants were Indians, but in 1869, John Muir visited the area, grazing sheep.[5] In 1885 John Baptiste Lembert made a seasonal homestead at Soda Springs, also filing a claim under the Homestead Act. In 1898, John McCauley used the homestead at Soda Springs as a seasonal pasture for his livestock. In 1915, The Sierra Club built Parsons Memorial Lodge at Soda Springs .[6]

gollark: It's probably irrelevant though, as I doubt *that* many people actually care about having the arbitrary ownership token™ in the first place and have the technical knowledge to check in much detail whether you actually do have it.
