Tejon Ranch Company (NYSE: TRC), based in Lebec, California, is one of the largest private landowners in California. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The company was incorporated in 1936 to organize the ownership of a large tract of land that was consolidated from four Mexican land grants acquired in the 1850s and 1860s by ranch founder Edward Fitzgerald Beale .
As required by the Land Act of 1851, a claim for Rancho El Tejon was filed with the Public Land Commission in 1852, [4] [5] and the grant was patented to Aguirre and del Valle in 1863. [ 6 ] The Sebastian Indian Reservation (Tejon Indian Reservation) was located in the Tejon Creek Canyon section of the rancho from 1853 to 1864.
Tejon Creek irrigated gardens, vineyards, and orchards. From the forest in upper Tejon Canyon Indians hauled timber from which they sawed the lumber needed at the reservation. Additionally there was wild game to hunt for in the Tehachapi Mountains and the San Joaquin Valley. [4] In that year the Indians gathered an abundant wheat harvest.
