History and Signage Information History and Signage Information

This route was defined in 1972.

During 1864 Tule River Farm was reorganized as the Tule River Reservation by authorization of Congress.  The original reservation is thought to have had about 450 members of the Yokut tribe and approximately 350 Paiute who relocated after the 1863 Owens Valley Indian War.  The original reservation was not popular with locals in the community of Porterville which pushed for it be relocated.  During 1873 the Tule River Reservation was relocated by Presidential Executive Order to the South Fork Tule River east of Porterville.  By 1935, Indian Reservation Drive was a minor highway branching east of Route 190 near Porterville. Tulare County Sign Route J42 was designated during 1972 to serve the Tule River Indian Reservation.  The 14.62-mile corridor was assigned as following Road 284, Avenue 138 and Indian Reservation Drive (Tulare County Mountain Road 127).  The highway corridor designation terminates at 1012 Indian Reservation Drive near Painted Rock Campground.
