Dominguez Seminary in Compton, CA is a historic site that holds the distinction of being the location of the First Spanish land grant in California. Originally granted in 1784 by King Carlos III to Juan Jose Dominguez, a retired Spanish soldier, the land encompassed 75,000 acres, including the entire Los Angeles harbor. Passed down through generations, the Rancho San Pedro remains in the Dominguez family, with the descendants now operating the Watson Land Company and the Carson Estates Company on the original Rancho land.

Throughout its history, the Rancho has endured various changes and challenges, including battles for control between the United States and Mexico. Today, Dominguez Seminary stands as a testament to the rich heritage of the Dominguez family and the significant role they played in the development of California. Visitors can explore the historic site, learn about its fascinating history, and appreciate the beautiful gardens that surround the Rancho.
