4S Ranch Real Estate
The origins of 4S Ranch's name aren't definitively known, although many trace it back to the area's first recorded land owner, an Englishman named Joseph Snook, who acquired the property after the collapse of the California mission system in the early 1840's. Locals say the "4S" in the name stands for "4 Snooks" after Joseph and his three brothers.
After Snook passed away his family sold the property, and it changed hands several times over the next 100 years until it was bought by the wealthy Ralphs family in 1938. The Ralphs finally developed the Southern portion of 4S Ranch in 1980, leaving the northern 1200 acres as a private retreat.
