Rancho Aptos was a 6,686-acre (27.06 km 2) Mexican land grant in present day Santa Cruz County, California given in 1833 by Governor José Figueroa to Rafael Castro. [1] The grant on the Monterey Bay was immediately downcoast of his sister, Martina Castro's Rancho Soquel , and upcoast of his father, José Joaquín Castro's Rancho San Andrés .
These California land grants were made by Spanish (1784–1821) and Mexican (1822–1846) authorities of Las Californias and Alta California to private individuals before California became part of the United States of America. [1] Under Spain, no private land ownership was allowed, so the grants were more akin to free leases.
