Twentynine Palms is a city in San Bernardino County, California. It serves as one of the entry points to Joshua Tree National Park and the Mojave Desert region. Native Americans, such as the Serrano, Chemehuevi and Cahuilla peoples, lived in the area. Colonel Henry Washington made the first recorded exploration of Twentynine Palms, where he found people of the Chemehuevi who lived in the surrounding hills and near the spring they called "Mar-rah" or "Oasis of Mara". The community was named for the 29 palms that the Serrano had planted surrounding the Oasis of Mara. Nearby is also a small Indian reservation belonging to the Twenty-Nine Palms Band of Mission Indians.
