Rancho Las Aromitas y Agua Caliente

Rancho Las Aromitas y Agua Caliente, commonly known as Rancho Las Aromas, was a 8,660-acre (35.0 km2) Mexican land grant in present-day San Benito County, California given in 1835 by Governor José Castro to Juan Miguel Anzar.[1] The name means "little perfumes and hot spring" and refers to nearby sulfur springs. The grant is close to the Santa Cruz County, California line and encompassed present-day Aromas.[2]
