Rancho San Vicente y Santa Mónica

[1] The rancho included what are now Santa Monica, Brentwood, Mandeville Canyon, and parts of Bel-Air and West Los Angeles.

[2][3][4] In 1839, Governor Alvarado gave possession to Francisco Sepulveda II of the lands known as San Vicente, with a piece of pasture (potrero) named Santa Mónica.

[6] 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.

[9] After long litigation, the Rancho San Vicente y Santa Mónica grant was patented to the Sepulveda heirs at 30,260 acres (122 km2) in 1881.

It was probably located in the Sawtelle area, near the intersection of Bundy Drive and Wilshire Boulevard, close to springs discovered by Portola.
