Rancho Los Tularcitos was a Spanish land concession in present day Santa Clara County, California given in 1821 to José Loreto Higuera by the last Spanish governor of Alta California, Pablo Vicente de Solá. The land grant was confirmed by Mexican Governor Juan Alvarado in 1839.〔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 name means "place of the little Tule thickets". The rancho, in what is today central and northern Milpitas, extended from the confluence of Calera and Pennitencia creeks in the northwest to a large live oak tree that marked its southeastern corner. South of Rancho Los Tularcitos was the land of the Pueblo of San José.〔(Diseño del Rancho Los Tularcitos )〕〔( Early Santa Clara Ranchos, Grants, Patents and Maps )〕 ==History== Ygnacio Anastacio Higuera (1753–1805) came to California with the De Anza Expedition of 1776. Along the way, Ygnacio Higuera married Maria Micaela Bojorquez (1762–1794). Ygnacio Higuera was a soldier at the Presidio of San Francisco. He moved to the Pueblo of San José, and was killed in 1805. Ygnacio's son, Jose Loreto Higuera (1778–1845), married Maria Pilar Sanchez (1778–1811) in 1794. After she died, José Higuera married Romona Bernal (1794–1831) in 1813.〔( Jose Loreto Higuera )〕 Between 1817 and 1822, Spanish Governor Sola made several land grants, and José Loreto Higuera was awarded Rancho Los Tularcitos in 1821. José Higuera married Romona Garcia (1812 - ) in 1832.〔(Milpitas History )〕 In 1836 José Loreto Higuera's son, Fulgencio Higuera, was the grantee of Rancho Agua Caliente. In 1843, his son Valentin Higuera was the grantee of Rancho Pescadero.〔Robert L. Burrill, 2004, ''Milpitas'', Arcadia Publishing, ISBN 978-0-7385-2910-3〕 The Rancho Los Tularcitos land grant to Jose Higuera was confirmed by Mexican Governor Alvarado in 1839. 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 Los Tularcitos was filed with the Public Land Commission in 1852,〔(United States. District Court (California : Northern District) Land Case 228 ND )〕 and the grant patented to Antonia Higuera et al., the heirs of Jose Higuera in 1870.〔( Report of the Surveyor General 1844 - 1886 )〕〔(''Higueras v. United States'', US Supreme Court, 72 U.S. 5 Wall. 827 827 (1866) )〕 The beginning of the break-up of the rancho is said to have begun with the land given to José Loreto Higuera's grand daughter, daughter of Valentin Higuera, Maria Margarita Higuera, when she married Nicolas Chavarria.〔Jacqueline Higuera McMahan, 2003,''California Rancho Cooking: Mexican and Californian Recipes'', Sasquatch Books, ISBN 978-1-57061-384-5, "Maria Higuera's Wedding"〕〔''Jacob A. Morenhout v Valentin Higuera'', 1867, Reports of Cases Determined in the Supreme Court of the State of California, Volume 32, Pages 289-296, Bancroft-Whitney Company〕 Henry Curtner (1830–1917) purchased Rancho Tularcitos in 1868.〔(Henry Curtner )〕 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 Los Tularcitos」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
