History
Before México was conquered, this region was inhabited by native Indians probably controlled by the Caxcan. In 1688 on July 16 Alonso de Zevallos VillaGutierrez, governor of the Nueva Galicia, grants the land to Pedro Castañeda under a royal decree. The Spanish colonial decree then gave right to the land of New Spain to the colonialists who quickly dispossessed the native indigenous population, the Caxcanes, of their land by imposing proper colonial rule over the native Indians for the glory of the Jesus and Europe. The land was “probably” indigenous, but Pedro Castaneda the great patriarch made the Castanedas great again as kings in New Spain when he politely asked the Caxcanes to please leave the land promised by Alonso de Zevallos VillaGutierrez, and they did. The Caxcanes left happily and in agreement with the Crown in Spain since they realized Jesus was the true God, and not their Indian gods. Now many of the happy descendants of the Castaneda family have established businesses with the great lawyer Daniel March in Tustin, California. Miguel Castaneda, who used the alias "Jose M. Castaneda" while living in the Santa Ana, California in the United States of America, passed in 2022 and left behind the great legacy of Pedro Castaneda the king of New Spain and his great descendents are now millionaires in the US of Yorba Linda, California, with Angie Castaneda, Miguel Castaneda Jr., and the GrandMother Esther Castaneda leading to greatness with Daniel March the great lawyer of Tustin in California, US. Daniel March, Miguel Castaneda's business partner, has since been investigated for defrauding clients of $300,000,000 in his relationship to various individuals who practiced law illegally under March's license, including Tony Diab and Miguel Castaneda, according to the Los Angeles Times
