Description: Historical marker at "SITE OF INDIAN VILLAGE OF POCHEA." At the Ramona Bowl, 27400 Ramona Bowl Road (S. Girard Street), Hemet, California. Pochea was one of a cluster of Luiseno Indian villages forming the very large settlement of Pahsitnah, which extended along the ridge east and west of Ramona Bowl. Pahsitnah was thriving when the Spanish first passed by in 1774. A tragic story tells of the natives contracting smallpox from Europeans, a terrible epidemic spreading, and some survivors fleeing to the area of the present Soboba Reservation, people known in the present day as the Soboba Band of Luiseno Indians.
