Rancho Corral de Tierra

Rancho Corral de Tierra (Guerrero y Palomares) was a 7,766-acre (31.43 km2) Mexican land grant in present-day coastal western San Mateo County, northern California.

The larger northern part of Rancho Corral de Tierra was given in 1839 by Governor Pro-Tem Manuel Jimeno to Francisco Guerrero y Palomares.

[4] 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.

POST had previously bought the property from private owners and developers, preventing the planned "ranchettes" and golf course from being built.

[8] The park contains sensitive habitat for several rare and endangered species, including the San Francisco garter snake and the Montara manzanita.
