Rancho Cañada de la Segunda was a 4,367-acre (17.67 km2) Mexican land grant in present-day Monterey County, California given in 1839 by Governor José Castro to Lazaro Soto.

Lazaro Soto sold Rancho Cañada de la Segunda to Andrew Randall.

Andrew Randall (1819–1856), a native of Rhode Island, came to California in 1849 as the newly appointed customs inspector for Monterey.

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.

In 1925, Frank D. received the 909 acres (368 ha) Middle Dairy tract located on both sides of Carmel Valley Road about three miles east of Highway 1.

William Jr. received the area now east of Rio Vista and bottom land, and Edward became owner of what was later called Hatton Fields.

[11][10] On February 25, 1968, Gordon Knott and Nick Lombardo took a 55-year lease on 226 acres (91 ha) in Carmel Valley to open a 45-hole golf course.
