After years of overuse and degradation of western lands, President Cleveland, in 1897, proclaimed 13 new forest reserves, known as the "Washington's Birthday Reserves." Two of these reserves were located in California; the San Jacinto and Stanislaus. In 1907, the name was changed to "National Forests."
