Klappentext

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Rancho Tres Ojos de Agua was a 176-acre (0.71 km2) Mexican land grant in present day Santa Cruz County, California given in 1844 by Governor Manuel Micheltorena to Nicolás Dodero. The name means "Three Springs". The grant was located on present day High Street in Santa Cruz. Nicolás Dodero (1804-), an Italian sailor came California on the "Maria Ester" in 1827, was living in the Pueblo of San José in 1829. Dodero married Josefa Higuera (1812-). He was granted the 1, 300 varas square Rancho Tres Ojos de Agua in 1844. Dodero built a Grist mill on the creek formed by three springs from limestone formations on the hill above and diverted water to the Mission Santa Cruz plaza and reservoir. 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 Santa Cruz was filed with the Public Land Commission in 1853, and the grant was patented to Nicolás Dodero in 1866.
