In 1860, Theodore and George Grant immigrated from Massachusetts to California and purchased 360 acres of land that is now Rancho San Antonio Open Space Preserve (from a purchase by Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District). The Grant family owned the land for 77 years. They raised wheat, horses and dairy cows. There is a hay barn built by the Grants in the early 1900s which was used to shelter the cattle and store hay.
