I was doing some research about the area where I grew up, and came across this little tidbit of information. I've been posting a little more history lately, I guess that happens when you reach middle age.
Timeline – San Jacinto plains
The Spanish Period
Captain Juan Bautista de Anza and a party of thirty-fourexplored this area to find a overland route to Alta California from Sonora in order to supply Missions from the presidio of Tubac. All prior shipments were by sea and very expensive for Spain. Anza and Mystic Lake –San Jacinto Lake were traversed) Thursday, March17 & 18, 1774 (Old Roads, page 6&7)
June 1798, Mission San Luis Rey de Francia was foundedand was the 18th mission in the chain.
San Jacinto Rancho: Likely founded August 16, 1819 (Old Roads – page 17). The largest Rancho in Riverside County (130,000 acres), South to Temecula, north to the Badlands, east to the present-day city of San Jacinto and westward to the Woodcrest area. A grazing Rancho (Under Supervision of the mission San Luis Rey)
Missions were to settle the land, convert the Indians to Christianity so they could become Spanish citizens and hold the area for Spain. Land used by the Missions became Mission property.
Casa Loma Hill a outpost compound consisting of a small rooming house, several granaries and a small Chapel located by present day Ramona Expressway and Warren Road. (Top of page 18 and page 44 Mexican grant to Estudillo)
Corral de Pilares (Basin Corral) or “basin corral” was an adobe structure and four acre pens surrounded by an adobe wall and it was used for branding cattle. The location of this site was on the west side of the San Jacinto River and the east of the Bernasconi Hills. In 1853 this site had fallen to disrepair. (Old Roads - Page18)
