Rancho San Antonio
Landmark #246 Alameda County Visited: May 31, 2014 Plaque?  YES! 🙂
What is it? A plaque marking the southernmost border of Rancho San Antonio, owned by the Peralta family!
What makes it historical? THE GUIDE SAYS: Governor Pablo de Solá, last Spanish governor of California, recognized the forty years’ service of Don LuĂ­s MarĂ­a Peralta by awarding him the 43,000-acre San Antonio Grant on August 3, 1820. From this point northward, the grant embraced the sites of the cities of San Leandro, Oakland, Alameda, Emeryville, Piedmont, Berkeley, and Albany.

OTHER TIDBITS: That pretty well sums it up!
