“The bronco's mighty wild and tough, /  And full of outdoor feelin's: /  His feet are quick, his ways are rough, /  He's careless in his dealin's.” (-Henry Herbert Knibbs, "The Bronco")With a name like Banning, you wonder whether you are allowed in the town at all, but there is a surprising amount of history and culture to discover here. The city of Banning has been around for 100 years and was originally a stagecoach stop between Arizona and Los Angeles. It was originally occupied by Morongo Indians and then called Moore City. The name was changed to Banning after General Phineas T. Banning, who pioneered stagecoach routes. Even today it is known as Stagecoach Town.

Knibbs’ poetry resonates with stagecoaches and cowboys, ranches and horses, which were once part of the landscape and to some extent still are. Annual Stagecoach Days are quite an event here for the community and are widely celebrated. Banning lies in the shadow of the San Gorgonio Mountains and the Pass in which the town is situated was created by the San Andreas Fault. All that sunshine in Banning inspired Irving Berlin to write, “I’m dreaming of a white Christmas,” in the town and several movies were filmed here, including How to Make an American Quilt.
