The southernmost 700 acres (283 ha) passed to the third-oldest son, Jose Domingo Batz. After Catalina died on February 22, 1882, the land portion of the estate was then divided between six of her eight children. It included the later communities of Ramona Acres (City of Alhambra), Sierra Vista (El Sereno), Sierra Park (El Sereno), West Alhambra (Alhambra and El Sereno) and Bairdstown (EI Sereno) west to EI Sereno Avenue (now Eastern Avenue). She purchased land from surrounding owners, and the ranch eventually grew to 3,283 acres (1,329 ha). Under the Homestead Act, his widow received title to the 160 acres (65 ha) upon which the adobe stood in 1876. Batz engaged in farming and sheep ranching until his death on December 6, 1859. In 1852, Jean-Baptiste (Juan Bautista) Batz and his wife, Catalina Hegui Batz, acquired the adobe ranch house from Lestrade. Rancho Rosa de Castilla was acquired around 1850 by Anaclet Lestrade, a priest of Our Lady of the Angels Church on the Los Angeles Plaza. : 6 American ranch period (1848 to 1901) Ownership After the secularization of the missions in 1833, the ranch passed to Francisco (Chico) Lopez. Lincoln Heights and City Terrace, as well as parts of South Pasadena, Alhambra and Monterey Park.
This stream was called the Arroyo Rosa de Castilla because of the roses growing on its banks. : 6 Mexican rancho period (1831 to 1847) Īfter Mexican independence from Spain (1821), the Rancho Rosa de Castilla – named after a stream that ran through the area – was granted to Juan Ballesteros in 1831. Īround 1810, a New Spain government's adobe toll house was built next to the road from the Mission to the Pueblo (present day Valley Boulevard/Alhambra Avenue), near present-day Warwick Avenue and Martin Street, just north of Alhambra Avenue. El Sereno was later part of the Mexican Rancho Rosa Castilla land grant. The El Sereno area was not included in either the pueblo or Rancho San Rafael. The Rancho San Rafael as it was known, covered approximately 36,000 acres (14,569 ha). In 1784, three years after the pueblo was founded, Spanish Governor Pedro Fages granted all the lands between the Los Angeles River and the Arroyo Seco to Jose Maria Verdugo. In 1771, Mission San Gabriel Arcángel was founded, including the area that became El Sereno area of its lands was used for cattle grazing, and an adobe was constructed there in 1776. The El Sereno area was first visited by Europeans in 1769, when the Spanish overland Portola Expedition passed just south of present-day El Sereno. A trail connected Otsungna to the village of Yangna on the Los Angeles River, then on to the village of Sibagna, near the eventual site of the Mission San Gabriel. The Tongva village of Otsungna was situated in today's El Sereno on the banks of a stream that was later named Arroyo Rosa de Castilla, which ran east of present-day Guardia and Farnsworth avenues.
