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 jurisdiction of Mission San Fernando Rey founded in 1797. Photograph caption dated June 1, 1957 reads "Ducks enjoy Encino pool.

A sign on the building across the pond reads "Mexican fast food."; See images #00125749 through #00125756 for all photos in this series.
