 History Of Borax

 

Borax has been known since early times, when it was obtained from saline lakes in Kashmir and Tibet and taken to Europe to be refined.

 

 

 

The key figure in the discovery of borax in North America was John A. Veatch, who found it in California in 1856, first in springs at the north end of the Sacramento Valley (Tehama County) and then in larger quantities in a cutoff bay of Clear Lake (Lake County).

 

In 1880 production began in Death Valley, California, where the famous twenty-mule-team wagons carried it out of this below-sea-level depression to the railroad junction at Mojave, 160 miles away.
