Rancho Muscupiabe
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rancho Muscupiabe was a 30,145-acre (121.99 km2) Mexican land grant in present day San Bernardino County, California given to Michael C. White on April 29, 1843, by Governor Manuel Micheltorena. The name comes from the Serrano word muscupiabit, meaning "place of little pines." The rancho was adjacent to Cajon Pass.
A separate grant for Cajon de Muscupiabe was given to Juan Bandini by Governor Alvarado in 1839 for the exclusive right to cut timber for 30 years in an area described by meets and bounds, about 1 league.
