The Sanchez Adobe, built in 1845, is the oldest home in the Montebello area. The land was granted to Dona Casilda Soto de Lobo by Mexican Governor Manuel Micheltorena on October 8, 1844. Mrs. Josephine Scott Crocker deeded the Sanchez Adobe to the City of Montebello on June 24, 1972. The City of Montebello and the Montebello Historical Society share in preserving the site.
