Rancho Jurupa - Rancho Jurupa (Rubidoux)

Rancho Jurupa (Rubidoux)

In 1843, Bandini sold approximately 1½ square leagues of the original Rancho Jurupa grant to Benjamin Wilson. A year later, Wilson sold this property to Isaac Williams, grantee of Rancho Santa Ana del Chino, and James Johnson. Williams and Johnson then sold the property to Louis Robidoux (1796–1868), in 1849, and it eventually became known as the Robidoux ranch. Robidoux (generally spelled "Rubidoux" in the Riverside area) had previously bought Rancho San Jacinto y San Gorgonio from James (Santiago) Johnson in 1845. After California was ceded to the United States, a claim for Rancho Jurupa was filed by Louis Robidoux with the Public Land Commission in 1852, and Robidoux received a US patent for this 6,750-acre (27.3 km2) portion of Rancho Jurupa in 1876.
