Andy Jauregui first leased the property from Standard Oil (now Chevron) in 1928, along with "Fat" Jones, but soon bought out Jones' portion of the lease.
Filming began around 1929 at the working ranch.
Chevron permitted the Jauregui's, Andy and his wife Camille, to remain on the property until they were either dead or no longer resided on the property. In 1990, Andy died, and in 1996, Camille moved out and Chevron razed all of the buildings on the land. The property was sold to its neighbor, the Golden Oak Ranch of Walt Disney.
DIRECTIONS: From Los Angeles, take the Golden State Freeway (5) north to the Antelope Valley Freeway (14) north. Exit at Placerita Canyon Road and turn right. The Andy Jauregui Ranch site is on the left after the first curve in the road.
