"Chavez Ravine was named for Julian Chavez (né Julián A. Chávez), the first recorded owner of the ravine.[6] He was born in New Mexico and moved to Los Angeles in the early 1830s. He quickly became a local leader. In 1844, Chavez purchased 83 acres (34 ha) of the long, narrow valley northwest of the city."
