Rancho Dominguez

California · USA · House

The adobe was a stopping place between the port at San Pedro and Los Angeles. The Battle of Dominguez Rancho was fought on this ground in 1846.

The Dominguez adobe at Carson, California is now a museum. In the late 1800s it was a stopping place for people travelling between the seaport at San Pedro and Los Angeles.

The ground it stands on was the site of the Battle of Dominguez Rancho in 1846, during the war between the United States and Mexico, where a small Californio force with a single old cannon drove off an American column.

The rancho itself was one of the first Spanish land grants in California, given to a soldier who came north with the Portolá expedition in 1769, and the family held it for generations while Los Angeles grew up around them.

What is reported in the house is attributed to the family who lived in it.

The adobe is one of the oldest buildings in Los Angeles County and is open to visitors.
