During the late 1830s and into the 1840s, more than 500 land grants were awarded in California, mostly to settlers of Spanish descent.

Solano County was originally made up of six Spanish/Mexican land grants, all acquired by General Mariano Vallejo.

One of those families were the Armijos, who arrived in the Suisun Valley around 1842.

A tale of gold buried at Rancho Solano / Bowen, Jerry [144] [WAYITWAS-2002-144]
As early as 1835, Jose Francisco Armijo was believed to have visited the Suisun Valley area. It must have made a favorable impression on him, because he applied for and received a land grant in 1839 from Mariano Vallejo. It consisted of about 13,000 acres of Suisun Valley, extending from Suisun Marsh to Manka's Corners and in March 1840, Gov. Alverado granted final approval.
