Founded in August 1870 by Julian's Louis B. Redman, this town was a competing site to Julian. It had a hotel, two stores, three saloons, and more. The town was washed out by floods in 1874, 1916, and 1926 and then was struck by fire in the 1930s. There are many mines in the hills around Banner that were probably associated with the town.
