Ranchos of California
The ranchos of California were conveyances of land ownership from the national government to private individuals, in what was then known as Alta California, made by the Spanish and Mexican governments between 1775 and 1846. The word was also used to describe authorized settlements by individual missions, where cattle were grazed and farm goods cultivated in its surrounding landscape.
