Laid out 1860-63, John Bidwell as part of the original city of Chico townsite, the South of Campus District is a large portion of Chico's original residential neighborhood. Chico (and the District) were part of Bidwell's original vast (22,000 acre) Rancho Del Arroyo Chico. The South of Campus District represents a microcosm of the history and settlement of the city of Chico. The land on which Chico was founded may be traced to two 1844 land grants made by Micheltorena, then governor of Mexico.
