Independence Hall Chain of Title
Chain of Title for Independence Hall Land
INDEPENDENCE HALL at Knott's Berry Farm is located on a parcel of land in Rancho Los Coyotes, which came under the jurisdiction of the King of Spain by virtue of the Law of the Indies upon the Spanish occupation of California in 1760.

This parcel and other land was granted by the Spanish Governor Pedro Fages to Manuel Perez Nieto on October 21, 1784.

In a partition of his holdings to his heirs, Rancho Los Coyotes was granted to Juan Jose Nieto on May 22 1834, by Mexican Governor Jose Figueroa.

In 1848, following the Mexican War and the signing of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, California became United States Territory and titles were confirmed later by Patents issued by authorities of the United States Government.

This parcel now is described as a portion of the Southeast quarter of the Northeast quarter of Section 11, Township 1 South, Range 11 West, as described in Patent Book 1, Page 453, Records of Los Angeles County, California.
