Encino, CA
In 1769 Encino "oak trees" was named by the Spanish because of the many oak trees. In the 1840's Vincent De La Ossa acquired the land and build an eight room home. When Eugene and Phillipe Garnier bought the property they build a two-story limestone Garnier and a blacksmith shop witch are still standing. They diversified the property and raised sheep, wheat and barley. They also built the Encino Roadhouse which became a stop for the Butterfield and Overland Mail Stage.
