It was given in 1840 by Governor Juan B. Alvarado to Teodocio Yorba.[1] The name means "dry creek". The grant, east of Sacramento, encompassed the historic mining community and present day town of Ione.[2]
History
Teodosio Juan Yorba (1805–1863), the son of José Antonio Yorba, was granted the eleven square league Rancho Arroyo Seco in 1840. Teodosio Yorba was also the grantee of the four square league Rancho Lomas de Santiago in southern California in 1846.
Neither Yorba or Pico did much to improve the property, and settlers built the towns of Quincy, Muletown, Jackson Valley, and Live Oak. After the patent, in 1865-1866, two companies of US Cavalry were dispatched from Camp Union in Sacramento to evict the settlers.
