In 1850 the first gold seekers began to arrive to the Jicarilla Mountains, but it would take time before the first mines were established. Jicarilla and White Oaks are two towns that were abandoned when the mines were no longer profitable in the early 1900s.

The range was also called the Sacramento Mountains.[1]
