Rancho San Mateo
Land in California / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rancho San Mateo was a 6,439-acre (26.06 km2) Mexican land grant on the San Francisco Peninsula, in present day San Mateo County, California.
It was given in 1846 by Governor Pio Pico to Cayetano Arenas.[1]
Rancho San Mateo extended from the foothills of the Santa Cruz Mountains to San Francisco Bay. It included Coyote Point, about one-half the present city of San Mateo, all of Burlingame and most of Hillsborough.[2]
