It was given by Governor Juan Bautista Alvarado in 1838 to Ignacio Alviso.[1] The name means Estuaries Corner or Estuaries Bend, in reference to the local estuaries.
The rancho was located within the present day Santa Clara County,[2] on the southern shore of San Francisco Bay between the Guadalupe River and Coyote Creek outflows into the Bay.
