Rancho Jurupa

Rancho Jurupa was a 40,569-acre (164.18 km2) Mexican land grant in California, United States, that is divided by the present-day counties of Riverside and San Bernardino.[4][5] Riverside historians, have proposed that the original seven square league (approximately 31,000 acres (125 km2)) Rancho Jurupa land grant was significantly smaller than the area eventually recognized by the United States.As required by the Land Act of 1851, Juan Bandini filed a claim for the major portion of the grant in 1852,[8][9] and was confirmed by the US District Court in 1855.A year later, Wilson sold this property to Isaac Williams, grantee of Rancho Santa Ana del Chino, and James Johnson.[15] In November 1869, the California Silk Center Association was formed for the purpose of growing silkworms, and mulberry trees, citrus fruits, and grapes; it purchased over 4,000 acres (1,600 ha) of the Rubidoux Rancho for its enterprise.
