Talk:Rancho La Laguna

patented 1872, subsequently sold 1858?

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,[4] and the grant was patented to Abel Stearns in 1872.[5]

Stearns subsequently sold Rancho Laguna to Augustin Machado in 1858. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.177.20.36 (talk) 06:20, 5 October 2014 (UTC)
