Set foot of the beautiful San Gorgonio and San Jacinto Mountains, the Morongo Indian Reservation spans more than 35,000 acres and overlooks the vistas of the Banning Pass. Established in 1865,  the Morongo Indian Reservation was one of nine small reservations created by President Ulysses S. Grant by executive order in 1876. 

Today, the Morongo Band of Mission Indians, a sovereign nation, is served by 40 members of the law enforcement and public safety department serving over a thousand tribal members and thousands of daily visitors to the tribal lands and businesses.
