Rancho Los Feliz

Rancho de Los Feliz was a 6,647-acre (2,690 ha; 26.90 km2) Spanish land concession in present-day Los Angeles County, California purportedly given in 1795 by Spanish Governor Pedro Fages to José Vicente Feliz, although there is no deed or other record.

Born in Sonora, Mexico, about 1741, Corporal Feliz, a veteran of the Anza Expedition of 1776, was the Spanish military leader at the Pueblo of Los Angeles.

[3] In 1787 Governor Fages appointed Feliz as Comisionado of the Los Angeles Pueblo, giving him the powers of Mayor and Judge.

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.

Cyrus Lyon sold the land on the former rancho the city gave to him in the 1850s as "donation lots" to San Francisco real estate developer James Lick.
