History
The Rancho Los Laureles, a 6,625-acre (26.81 km2) Mexican land grant in present-day Monterey County, was given in 1839 by Governor Juan Bautista Alvarado to José Manuel Boronda and Vicente Blas Martínez. The grant extended along the Carmel River and the Carmel Valley, and encompassed present-day Carmel Valley Village. In 1882, the Pacific Improvement Company (PIC) purchased the Rancho Los Laureles.
