From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rancho Corte Madera del Presidio was a 7,845-acre (31.75 km2) Mexican land grant in present day Marin County, California given in 1834 by Governor José Figueroa to John (Juan) Reed.[1] Corte Madera del Presidio means the "lumber mill of the Presidio". The grant encompassed what is now southern Corte Madera, Mill Valley, the Tiburon Peninsula, and Strawberry Point.[2][3][4][5] It reached from Point Tiburon to Larkspur Creek, then known as Arroyo Holon.
