History
Lucas Valley was part of San Pedro Santa Margarita y las Gallinas grant, a parcel of 21,678.69 acres (8,773.05 ha) awarded to Timothy Murphy on February 14, 1844. John Lucas inherited the Santa Margarita rancho (which included Lucas Valley) in 1853.
In 1978, film director George Lucas began acquiring land in the area for his Skywalker Ranch. However, Lucas Valley Road was named after the 19th-century rancher, who is not related to George Lucas.
