Our Story

How it all started...

In 1874 Charles Maclay, San Fernando founder, bought 56,000 acres (227 km2) of the Rancho, which were the formal territorial lands of the Fernandeño Tataviam Band of Mission Indians. In 1882, cousins George K. Porter and Benjamin F. Porter of future Porter Ranch each received one-third of the total land. In 1885, Maclay founded the Maclay School of Theology, a Methodist seminary in his newly founded town of San Fernando, as well as First United Methodist Church of San Fernando.
