The Tundra 1794, named for the year of the founding of original ranch site on which the present-day Tundra and Tacoma factory is located. The El Rancho de la Purisima Concepcion was founded by Juan Ignacio de Casanova, an immigrant from the Canary Islands, through a land grant from the Spanish crown. Originally more than 24,000 acres, the Texas Republic only recognized 4000 acres of the property. Until Toyota bought the property in 2003, descendants of the founder continued to hold title to the property.
