History
Domingo Feliz (1820–??), born in San Francisco, received the one square league grant in 1844.
With the cession of California to the United States following the Mexican-American War, the 1848 Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo provided that the land grants would be honored. As required by the Land Act of 1851, a claim for Rancho Feliz was filed with the Public Land Commission in 1852, and the grant was patented to Domingo Feliz in 1873.
In 1854 Agoston Haraszthy acquired 388-acre (1.57 km2) of Rancho Feliz.
