[edit] Ranchos of California

http://www.socalhistory.org/pages/LABioah.htm

"After 1821 and Mexico's independence from Spain, almost 800 ranchos were established, the bulk of them in the 1830s and 1840s."

That's not including the Ranchos already granted by the Spanish. The list of Ranchos could end up being one v-e-r-y long list. ;-) [[User:GK|gK ¿?]] 07:21, 4 Dec 2004 (UTC)

I don't know that the list needs to be exhaustive. My guess is there may be 40 or so notable ranchos. Most ranchos were probably small, rapidly sold, rural, lost in the Americanization process, or otherwise insignificant. -Willmcw 03:11, 6 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Alta,_California 95701 95715

The statement that somehow shares an esoteric belief that the majority of Californios wanted independence from Mexican rule simply is false..only the emigrant Americans flooding into the California provence were the ones that wanted to take what was percieved as theirs. Inflamatory statements like this that distort history is why we have such an ignorant understanding today in this reigon, I would suggest writing only citation fact, not Hollywood fiction DonDeigo 16:21, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

There should be a page of Alta,_California, which shares the zone improvement plan code of "95715", with Emigrant_Gap,_California & Blue Canyon, California {list_of_airports_in_California, Interstate_80_in_California}.

< http://google.com/search?q=%22alta%22+%2295715%22+%22emigrant%22+%22blue+canyon%22++california++ >.

Here are some of the other versions of "Alta":

Altadena,_California

Los_Altos,_California

Palo_Alto,_California

Altaville,_California

Alturas,_California

Alta_Loma,_Rancho_Cucamonga,_California

Alta_Sierra,_California

Are you sure that "Alta, California" is different from "Alta_Sierra, California"? I can't find any reference to plain old "Alta". -Will Beback · † · 21:13, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Land grants

I started making a list, by searching "California land grant". I quit when I found this subsection. Someone may want to include in the table at least all those ranchos with their own Wikipedfia pages. (Wetman 04:12, 10 May 2007 (UTC)):

• Rancho Los Feliz
• Rancho Rincon de Los Esteros
• Rancho San Antonio, Rancho San Antonio (Lugo grant)
• Rancho San Pedro
• Rancho Santa Margarita
• etc...
