Rancho Cañada Larga o Verde

Gabriel Antonio Moraga (1765–1823) came to California with the De Anza Expedition, and married Ana Maria Bernal (1770–1802) in 1784.

After Ana Bernal died, Moraga married Joaquina Alvarado in 1806.

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.

Frenchman, Anselme Canet (1833–1914) came to New York City and married Catherine Brannigan in 1863.

Canet moved his family to Ventura in 1874 and immediately he branched out into the cattle business and acquired Rancho Cañada Larga y Verde.
