LANDSCAPE OF STORIES
Rancho San Antonio
All of what is now the Fruitvale district of Oakland was once a small piece of a vast estate called Rancho San Antonio—44,700 acres of East Bay land granted to Luís María Peralta in 1820 by the Spanish governor. Today, seven cities stand on the rancho’s former territory, from El Cerrito to San Leandro, from the tops of the hills to the shores of the bay.
The six acres that now form Peralta Hacienda Historical Park became the headquarters of the rancho. Here, the family of Antonio María Peralta and María Antonia Galindo farmed and raised cattle with Native American workers when California was part of Mexico.
The rancho still existed for many decades after the US takeover of California in 1848.
The flow of cultures to the East Bay first began more than 12,000 years ago, as American Indian peoples arrived in waves to the edge of the continent. Long before Columbus, this land had become home to the Ohlone.
This flow has continued over the past two hundred years, as people from all over the world and the United States have invaded, conquered, settled and mingled. They have created the seven modern cities we know today on the land of the old rancho, over Ohlone land.
The history of the Peralta rancho is part of a longer story that is still being lived.
You are part of that story.
