Ranchos of California

http://www.socalhistory.org/pages/LABioah.htm

"After 1821 and Mexico's independence from Spain, almost 800 ranchos were established, the bulk of them in the 1830s and 1840s."

That's not including the Ranchos already granted by the Spanish. The list of Ranchos could end up being one v-e-r-y long list. ;-) [[User:GK|gK ¿?]] 07:21, 4 Dec 2004 (UTC)

I don't know that the list needs to be exhaustive. My guess is there may be 40 or so notable ranchos. Most ranchos were probably small, rapidly sold, rural, lost in the Americanization process, or otherwise insignificant. -Willmcw 03:11, 6 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Alta,_California 95701 95715

The statement that somehow shares an esoteric belief that the majority of Californios wanted independence from Mexican rule simply is false..only the emigrant Americans flooding into the California provence were the ones that wanted to take what was percieved as theirs. Inflamatory statements like this that distort history is why we have such an ignorant understanding today in this reigon, I would suggest writing only citation fact, not Hollywood fiction DonDeigo 16:21, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

There should be a page of Alta,_California, which shares the zone improvement plan code of "95715", with Emigrant_Gap,_California & Blue Canyon, California {list_of_airports_in_California, Interstate_80_in_California}.

Are you sure that "Alta, California" is different from "Alta_Sierra, California"? I can't find any reference to plain old "Alta". -Will Beback · † · 21:13, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Land grants

I started making a list, by searching "California land grant". I quit when I found this subsection. Someone may want to include in the table at least all those ranchos with their own Wikipedfia pages. (Wetman 04:12, 10 May 2007 (UTC)):

• Rancho Los Feliz
• Rancho Rincon de Los Esteros
• Rancho San Antonio, Rancho San Antonio (Lugo grant)
• Rancho San Pedro
• Rancho Santa Margarita
• etc...

Lands under Mexican rule

The article goes from "1 Lands under Spanish rule" to "2 Mexican-American War" but in between those should be "Lands under Mexican rule". This is something that should be added.Emargie (talk) 00:31, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

Flags that have passed over California

I'm wondering if this section might benefit from some additions. For example, according to Flag of California:

1836 California Lone Star Flag

In 1836, Juan Alvarado and Isaac Graham led a revolution against Mexican rule. During this first revolt, rebels were able to capture Monterey and declared California "a free and sovereign state". Although their rebellion failed to secure independence for California, it inspired the design of the flag of the Bear Flag Revolt. The Lone Star Flag of California contained a single red star on a white background.

Flags over California, A History and Guide. Sacramento: State of California, Military Department. 2002. http://www.militarymuseum.org/Flags_Over_Ca.pdf. 

Check out the pdf reference too. There are even more flags listed there as well that aren't on the page. Thoughts?
