Soon after the Spaniards iirst sailed into San Francisco Bay in l769, their explorers, notably Pedro Fages and Iuan Bautista de Anza, led expeditions into the region east oi the Bay. They were followed loy the padres who attempted to convert the ln- dians. The padres succeeded in converting them, but the indians were not used to the white rnan's way oi lite, and their popula- tion declined very rapidly. Within a tew years' time, the Spaniards had divided the land into large grants called ranclws. Qne ot these, the Ranclm A calanes, we have come to associate with our school, although our buildings actually stand on the Rancho La Boca de' la Cvllllllllll de Pinnle. Candeliero Valencia was granted the 3,329 acre Rancho Acalancfs, in l834, but he was iorced to sell it to William A. Leidesdorti ot Yvrba lflll'lIll, who almost immediately sold it tc Elani Brown. This ended the period of Spanish ownership.
