Rancho Cañada de Raymundo

Rancho Cañada de Raymundo was a 12,545-acre (50.77 km2) Mexican land grant in present-day San Mateo County, California given August 4, 1840 to Raimundo (also known as Raymundo), a native of Baja California, who was sent out by the padres of Mission Santa Clara to capture runaway Mission Indians in 1797.

He worked for María Antonia Mesa the widow of Rafael Soto on Rancho Rinconada del Arroyo de San Francisquito.

During the Mexican-American War the authorities became suspicious of Coppinger's loyalty and took him as a prisoner to Mexico, but he was soon released and returned to California, remaining at his ranch until his death in 1847.

[8] After Coppinger's death, his widow, Maria Luisa Soto moved back to Rancho Rinconada del Arroyo de San Francisquito.

Greer and Soto moved to an adobe on Rancho Cañada de Raymundo, which they called Greersburg, and made a business from lumber and tallow.

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.
