The Mexican government awarded large grants of land in California primarily to Californio settlers, who were Mexican citizens living in the region, and to immigrants who were encouraged to settle there, including Anglos and other foreign nationals. These grants were part of efforts to promote agriculture and development in the area following the Mexican-American War. Additionally, influential individuals, such as military officers and political leaders, were often recipients of significant land grants to foster loyalty to the Mexican government.
