     Legend and Lore
by Marilyn Gideon

It began in the late 1700’s when the King of Spain granted a portion of the Rancho Rincon del Canada to a Mrs. Harding, who had performed a forgotten service to him and his subjects.

Her Spanish Land Grant remained undeveloped through the 19th century, and bequeathed to her son, Mr. Harding, when she died.  After the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and fire, he opened the land to loggers hungry for materials to rebuild San Francisco.

They setup a sawmill beside a stream and dammed the stream for a millpond to float the cut logs to the mill.  The millpond is our lake, where generations have learned to swim and worship the sun on its beach.
