The Legacy of Rancho Los Cerritos
Rancho Los Cerritos is a historic site with a rich and complex past. Originally a Spanish land grant in the late 18th century, it later became an adobe ranch house that was home to many different families and played a pivotal role in the development of the region.
The site has witnessed the transformation of the land from its indigenous roots to the Spanish colonial period and the subsequent Mexican and American eras. Our dedication to preserving this legacy allows visitors to step back in time and experience the layers of history that have shaped Southern California.
