History
of Marysville, Ca. - California's Oldest Little
City
|
Theodore
Cordua leased land from John A Sutter
in the fall of 1842. Cordua later named the
land the City of Marysville. Cordua raised livestock
on the land and in 1843 built a home and trading
post at which is now known as the southern end
of "D" Street.
Cordua obtained an additional seven leagues
of land in 1844, adjacent to that leased from
Sutter, from the Mexican government.A former
employee of Cordua known as Charles Covillaud,
struck it rich in the gold fields and returned
to buy one-half of the Cordua Ranch in 1848.
The other half was purchased by Michael C. Nye
and William Foster in January 1849. Nye and
Foster, brothers-in-law to Covillaud's new wife
Mary, then sold their interest to Covillaud.
In October of the same year, Covillaud sold
three-fourths of the ranch to Jose Ramirez,
John Sampson, and Theodore Sicard. |

During
the Gold Rush, the ranch became a point of
debarkation for riverboats from San Francisco
and Sacramento filled with miners on their
way to the 'diggins'. In 1850. The four partners
hired a French surveyor named Augustus Le
Plongeon to create a master plan for a town.
Newly
arrived Attorney Stephen Fields purchased
65 lots and drew up a proper deed for the
land being sold. Along with land development
came government and the name "Marysville",
named for Covillaud's new wife, Mary Murphy.
Mary was a survivor of the ill-fated Donner
Party. Back
