Commercial Property In Westminster Maryland

In 1864, Jose Andres Sepulveda lost his property, the Rancho San Joaquin, largely because of gambling debts. This event would have huge, unknowable consequences. It would spawn 3 cities, create the home of a major university and create space for a military airport. The land which would eventually total 170,000 square miles was bought by James Irvine and some financial partners; the Bixby and Flint families.

Jose was notorious for his love of betting on the ponies. “It has been said of Don Jose Andres Sepulveda, one of the most picturesque figures of the post-Gold Rush era, and the owner of two grants which made up the Rancho San Joaquin, that he ‘won romantic distinction for his great landholdings, fast race horses, reckless wagers, openhanded hospitality, and the elegance of his costumes’” Robert Glass Cleland, “The Irvine Ranch”

There was a secondary group of properties, The Rancho Azusa de Duarte, Rancho Santa Anita, Rancho Rio de los Putos, Rancho Lomas do Santiago and Rancho San Francisco which Irvine and his partners also bought. These properties were owned by William Wolfskill, a California wine maker and the man who began the orange growing industry in California.
