History
[edit]Aguaje de Las Berendas (Waterhole of the Pronghorns), later called Antelope Springs, was as its name suggests, the site of a waterhole used by Pronghorn, Elk, and other wild game. Indian mortars, and other evidence have been found that show a hill to the north of this vicinity was once used as an Indian encampment. Later it was a watering place on El Camino Viejo, between Arroyo de Mesteño to the north and the Arroyo de Quinto to the south.[1]
