The following is excerpted from the Cultural Resources Documentation Report Westwood: North and East Villages Prepared by Johnson Heumann Research Associates for the City of Los Angeles Department of Planning May 15, 1987:" "The first owner of the land now known as Westwood Village was Don Maximo Alanes who received the'Rancho San Jose de Buenos Aires'as a land grant from Governor Micheltorena in 1843. Eventually, it was acquired by Don Benito Wilson, a land baron with extensive holdings in the San Gabriel Valley, who used it for cattle grazing. In 1884, John Wolfskill, a former state senator and rancher who came to California during the Gold Rush, bought the property and several years later built a home on what is now the site of the Mormon Temple on Santa Monica Boulevard. Portions of the 2,000 acre Wolfskill Ranch, as it came to be known, were to be developed as truck farm sites. There was also a plan for a townsite,'Sunset'but the development never materialized. The ranch was intact at the time of Wolfskill's death in 1913, the last of the great ranchos to be so."
