Pico family
The Pico family was a prominent family in California's history, particularly during the 19th century. They were of Mexican descent and played a significant role in the state's early governance and land ownership. The family is best known for their connection to the Pico House, a historic hotel in Los Angeles, which was one of the first luxury hotels in the area.
Members of the Pico family included Pío Pico, who served as the last governor of Mexican California. The family's influence extended to various aspects of California's development, including politics, agriculture, and land management, making them key figures in the region's transition from Mexican to American control.
