Citrus Heights Throughout most of the Spanish-Mexican period
of the growth of California (1542-1848), settlement was limited to a narrow coastal strip
along El Camino Real with only a few isolated frontier outposts of civilization. One
of these outposts was the vast estate of John Augustus Sutter, a German-Swiss immigrant,
who was granted 11-square leagues of land in the Sacramento Valley under the condition
that he settle 12 other families on the land. One of these Mexican land sub-grants
was the Ranch Del San Juan, an approximately 20,000-acre tract of rich farm land
originally granted in 1844. This sub-grant included present-day Citrus Heights.
