Rancho San Geronimo (Villavicencio)

[1] The granted extended along the Pacific coast from south of present-day Harmony to north of Cayucos.

Villa Creek, which retains the Villavicencio name, runs through the center of the grant.

In 1842 Rafael received the two square league Rancho San Gerónimo.

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.

[6] After the death of Rafael, Roberto (1835–1917) who was their third child, inherited most of San Geronimo.
