Rancho El Escorpión
Land grant in California
Summary
Rancho El Escorpión was a 1,110-acre (4.5 km2) Mexican land grant in present-day Los Angeles County, California, given in 1845 by Governor Pío Pico to three Chumash Native Americans - Odón Chijulla, Urbano, and Mañuel. The half league square shaped Rancho El Escorpión was located at the west end of the San Fernando Valley on Bell Creek against the Simi Hills, and encompassed parts of present-day Calabasas, California, West Hills and Woodland Hills.
