Clovis The City of Clovis
was named after its public spirited pioneer, Clovis M. Cole, a man who spent nearly all of
his life in the vicinity. The area was known for its thousands of acres of wheat, which he
had developed in the Fresno County area. The first thoughts of settlement, however, are
credited to Padre Martin, who explored the area in 1806 while searching for a mission
site. Missionaries and trappers were the first non-native people to roam the area. Miners
soon followed during the "gold rush" period, displacing the many Native
American tribes that were settled in the foothills and near the rivers.
