A Look at Its Past
The area known today as La Presa Este has a long history. Back in 1835, a big piece of land called the Rancho Cueros de Venado was located here. A "rancho" was like a large farm or ranch. This particular rancho was owned by a person named Juan María Marrón. Over time, this land became part of the growing city of Tijuana.
