Rancho La Goleta (Paperback)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Rancho La Goleta was a 4,426-acre (17.91 km2) Mexican land grant in present day Santa Barbara County, California given in 1846 by Governor Pio Pico to Daniel A. Hill. The grant extended along the Pacific coast from today's Fairview Avenue in present day Goleta, east to Hope Ranch. The grant was adjacent to Rancho Dos Pueblos granted to his son-in-law Nicolas A. Den in 1842. The one square league grant was made to Daniel Antonio Hill in 1846. 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 Goleta was filed with the Public Land Commission in 1852, and the grant was patented to Daniel Antonio Hill in 1865.
