History

Originally part of land titled in 1769 by the King of Spain, the San Ysidro Ranch later served as a way station for Franciscan monks in the late 1700s and then a working citrus ranch in the 1800s, before becoming a guest ranch. The San Ysidro Citrus Ranch, which would later become the Johnston Fruit Company, harvested an average of 300,000 oranges and 100,000 lemons annually. In 1889 a large sandstone packing house was built to handle the citrus production - which today houses the Ranch's acclaimed Stonehouse Restaurant.
