The site of the farm owned by R.T and Alonzo Buell was bought over a period in the 1860's and 1870's from a land grant owned by Jose Maria Covarrubias and Joaquin Carrillo of Santa Barbara. By 1872 R.T. had bought out his brother and owned approximately 26k acres of land in this area.

By 1875 R.T. had established several businesses in the area including a general store and a blacksmith shop.
By that time Danish farmers were moving in to the area which provided an interesting mix of cultures.
