Chico, CA Real Estate

Chico (pop. 79,091) is the most populous city in Butte County, California, United States. The city is the cultural, economic, and educational center of the northern Sacramento Valley. Chico is home to California State University, Chico and Bidwell Park, one of the largest municipal parks in the country. Other major cities in the Chico Metropolitan Area include Paradise and Oroville.

The original inhabitants of Chico were the Mechoopda Maidu.

Chico was founded by General John Bidwell, a member of one of the first wagontrains to reach California in 1843. Bidwell first came to the area in that same year as an employee of John Sutter.

In 1844, Arroyo Chico was granted by California Governor Manuel Michetorena under Mexican law, to William Dickey.

In two separate purchases in 1849 and 1851, Bidwell acquired the 28,000 acre Rancho del Arroyo Chico. He filed a claim for the land with the US Lands Commission in 1852, and the claim was confirmed the next year. After a subsequent legal challenge, the claim was confirmed by the US District Court for the Northern District in 1855, and eventually by the US Supreme Court. The title patent was signed by President James Buchanan in 1860.
