"Approximately 50 miles north of San Diego stands the historic Rancho Santa Margarita y Las Flores. Since its founding in the early nineteenth century, this sprawling estate has sat in silent witness to notable events in Southern California history, including the birth of Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton and the modern Marine Corps of the West Coast. The Corps would go on to transform the expansive ranch lands into a permanent training installation at Camp Pendleton, and Santa Margarita Ranch House would serve as a primary residence for Marine Corps commanders for the next 50 years. Today, the Marine Corps proudly protects these cultural resources, preserving the rich history of the base and assuring their continuing place in military history for years to come."--Provided by publisher.
