Rancho Atascadero was a Mexican land grant in present-day San Luis Obispo County, California given in 1842 by Governor Juan Alvarado to Trifon Garcia.〔Ogden Hoffman, 1862, ''Reports of Land Cases Determined in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California'', Numa Hubert, San Francisco〕 The grant extended along the Salinas River and encompassed present-day Atascadero.〔(Diseño del Rancho Atascadero )〕 ==History== The one square league grant was from the secularized holdings of Mission San Miguel Arcángel. Trifon Garcia was a son of Ynocente Garcia, who was administrator at Mission San Miguel. With the cession of California to the United States following the Mexican-American War, the 1848 Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo provided that the land grants would be honored. As required by the Land Act of 1851, a claim for Rancho Atascadero was filed with the Public Land Commission in 1852,〔(United States. District Court (California : Southern District) Land Case 113 SD )〕 and the grant was patented to Henry Haight in 1860.〔( Report of the Surveyor General 1844 - 1886 )〕 The rancho was sold in 1864 to Martin Murphy Jr. (1807–1884) and his wife Mary Bulger Murphy (d.1892) of Sunnyvale, who had come to California with the Stephens-Townsend-Murphy Party in 1844.〔J. P. Munro-Fraser, 1881, ''History of Santa Clara County, California'', Alley, Bowen & Co, San Francisco〕〔( Biography of Martin Murphy, Jr. )〕 The Murphys turned over running of the rancho to their son Patrick Murphy, who was a General in the California National Guard.〔Thompson & West , 1883, ''History of San Luis Obispo County California'', Oakland〕 〔( Patrick Washington Murphy )〕 Patrick Washington Murphy (1840–1901) operated Rancho Atascadero, and the adjacent Rancho Asuncion, and Rancho Santa Margarita, altogether comprising about , from his Rancho Santa Margarita headquarters. In 1912, Edward Gardner Lewis, a successful magazine publisher, bought Rancho Atascadero from J.H. Henry. Lewis founded the utopian, planned community of Atascadero in 1913. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rancho Atascadero」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
