The role played by veterans of the San Diego Company in the developmentof the Pueblo of Los Angeles was significant. The first three rancherosin the Los Angeles area (and in California, for that matter) were JuanJosé Domínguez, Manuel Nieto, and José María Verdugo, who were grantedranchos in 1784.29 Nieto and Verdugo remained in the army, stationednearby at San Gabriel, while Domínguez retired to the pueblo afterserving the required eighteen years for the little pension of eight pesosper month. It was barely enough for the survival of even a small family.Augmented by some subsistence farming and stockraising, however, acomfortable retirement was possible. A milpa or two of corn, a patch ofwheat to sell to the presidios, a few beans, garbanzos, pumpkins, melons,squashes, tomatoes, cabbage and other vegetables were grown for personalconsumption.
