Historic sites-Dominguez Rancho

I love old historic sites and buildings. The Rancho Dominguez is important in California's history and it's a beautiful place. The Rancho is the first Spanish land grant in California. The land was granted to Juan Jose Dominguez in 1784 by King Carlos III. Dominguez was a retired soldier who came to California with the Portola expedition and later with Father Juniperro Serra. The land passed to Cristobal Dominguez, Juan Jose's nephew, and then to Cristobal's son, Manuel. Manuel completed construction on the Rancho in 1826, and this is how it is seen today.
