Rancho La Laguna was a Mexican land grant in present day Riverside County, California given in 1844 by Governor Manuel Micheltorena to Julian Manriquez.〔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 rancho lands are included in the present day city of Lake Elsinore and Wildomar. At the time of the US Patent, Rancho Laguna was a part of San Diego County. The County of Riverside was created by the California Legislature in 1893 by taking land from both San Bernardino and San Diego Counties.〔( Diseño del Rancho La Laguna )〕〔( Rancho La Laguna )〕 ==History== Julian Manriquez received the land grant in 1844. His adobe ranch house lay at the north end of the west side of the lake. He sold the land to Abel Stearns in 1851. 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 La Laguna was filed with the Public Land Commission in 1852,〔(United States. District Court (California : Southern District) Land Case 161 SD )〕 and the grant was patented to Abel Stearns in 1872.〔( Report of the Surveyor General 1844 - 1886 )〕 Stearns subsequently sold Rancho Laguna to Augustin Machado in 1858. Augustin Machado built his house and outbuildings near the southwest corner of the Lake.〔Tom Hudson, ''Lake Elsinore Valley, its story 1776-1977'', 2nd Ed., Published by author, 1988. ISBN 0-931700-01-9, pp. 8-9〕 From 1857 to 1861 the rancho was a stop on the Butterfield Overland Mail between Los Angeles and Fort Yuma. The old Manriquez adobe was used as the site of the stage station. In 1862, during the American Civil War the rancho provided the site for the Union Army Camp Laguna Grande, a which was used for grazing horses.〔( The California State Military Museum, Historic California Posts: Camp Laguna Grande )〕 After Augustin Machado's death in 1865, his eldest son, Juan Bautista Machado inherited the property. In 1873, all but of the rancho was sold to Charles A. Sumner, an English settler. Juan Machado retained the on the west corner of the lake where his house still stands.〔Tom Hudson, ''Lake Elsinore Valley,...''〕 Sumner moved into the rancho with his wife and two children. He lived in a ranch house that was a frame building, with rooms on a verandah with a small buiiding one hundred feet away as a kitchen.〔Sumner, C. A. "Early Days in Elsinore and Temecula." Lake Elsinore Valley Press: March 1, 1918.〕 Franklin Heald, along with Donald Graham and William Collier, purchased the Rancho Laguna from Sumner in 1883. They developed a community that was incorporated as the city of Elsinore in 1888.〔Tom Hudson, ''Lake Elsinore Valley,...''〕〔Lake Elsinore Historical Society, 2008, ''Lake Elsinore'', Arcadia Publishing, ISBN 978-0-7385-5588-1〕 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 La Laguna (Manriquez)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
