Rancho Rincón del Sanjón was granted to José Eusebio Boronda, a Californio ranchero. The present day community of Boronda is named for him and located on the former grounds of the rancho.
The Boronda family patriarch, Manuel Boronda (1750-1826) accompanied Junípero Serra’s second expedition to Alta California. By 1790, Boronda was stationed at the Presidio of San Francisco and married Maria Gertrudis Higuera (1776-). Besides his military duties, which included carpenter work, Manuel also conducted a class for boys. The couple then moved to Santa Cruz. In 1811, at age 61, Manuel retired from military service and with his family moved to Monterey, where he built an adobe house in 1817.[4] The three sons of Manuel and Gertrudis Boronda were: José Canuto Boronda (1792-); José Eusebio Boronda (1808-1880); and José Manuel Boronda (1803-1878), grantee of Rancho Los Laureles.
José Eusebio Boronda married Maria Josefa Buelna (1817-1864) in 1831.[5] Maria Buelna was the daughter of Antonio Buelna, grantee of Rancho San Francisquito and Rancho San Gregorio. Boronda served as Mayordomo of Rancho Los Vergeles. In 1839, Boronda and his family settled on a one and one half square league, "mas o menos" ("more or less"), Rancho Rincón del Sanjón which he called San José, and which he was granted in 1840. Boronda was at the Battle of Natividad in 1846.
