Rancho Los Alamitos is a National Register site which includes an adobe core ranch house c.1800, five acres of lush historic gardens, and an historic barnyard area which will reopen in 2012 following extensive restoration. The site has been continuously occupied by generations of people, beginning with the Tongva people for whom Povuu’ngna was an important ceremonial and trading center, and remains a place of emergence and of gathering.

A visit to the Rancho is a retreat from the surrounding bustle of the city. The site reflects the ongoing blend of regional culture and environment including the Native American, Spanish, and Mexican periods, the ranching and farming era, and the imprint of early 20th century development upon the landscape.

The site is open to the public Wednesday through Sunday, 1:00-5:00 p.m. Rancho Los Alamitos is owned by the City of Long Beach and operated by Rancho Los Alamitos Foundation as a public/private cooperative venture under the auspices of the Department of Parks, Recreation and Marine.
