Forbes MillEntry/Object ID
FB008Description
In 1852 James Alexander Forbes purchased 2,000 acres of the original Rancho Rinconada de los Gatos from Jose Maria Hernandez, one of the grantees of the 1840 Mexican land grant. Forbes was intent on building a flour mill in order to sell his product to the Gold Rush population which had flooded into California. Even though his enterprise failed rather quickly, his efforts created the birthplace of Los Gatos. FB008Subject
