Plaque identifying the Don Vicente de la Osa Adobe on Los Encinos Rancho as a California State Historical Monument. The plaque reads, "This dwelling built in 1849 by Don Vicente de la Osa, was a favorite stopping place for the numerous travellers on El Camino Real. It stands on land that is a part of the One-Square-League Rancho El Encino granted in 1845 by Governor Pio Pico to three indians, Ramon, Francisco and Roque, whose interests were purchased by Don Vicente. Originally the land was under the jurisidiction of Mission San Fernando Rey, founded in 1797. Marked by Los Angeles Parlor No. 124. Native Daughters of the Golden West in 1937 and again in 1950."
