Californio landholding families
The Lugo family
Patriarch: Francisco Salvador Lugo (soldier, arrived 1770s); the great ranchero of the family was his son Antonio María Lugo (1778–1860)
The Lugos held over 100,000 acres from Compton to San Bernardino, anchored by Antonio María Lugo's Rancho San Antonio and the sons' Rancho San Bernardino. The family also served as a marriage hub of the frontier elite, its daughters marrying into the Vallejo and Carrillo dynasties.
Origin
The soldier Francisco Salvador Lugo settled in California in the Spanish period (his daughter María Antonia Lugo married Ignacio Vallejo, and another Lugo daughter married José Raimundo Carrillo). His son Antonio María Lugo became one of the largest southern landholders.
