	At nearly 270,000 acres, Tejon Ranch is the largest contiguous expanse of private land in California. Its 422 square miles make it larger than the City of Los Angeles and about 40% the size of Rhode Island. The Ranch is located along Interstate 5, approximately 60 miles north of Los Angeles and 30 miles south of Bakersfield.
	Tejon Ranch was founded in 1843 as a Mexican land grant. In the decades that followed, the Ranch grew in size as additional land grants were purchased by Tejon’s founder, General Edward Fitzgerald Beale, a historic figure in early California. The 270,000–acre Ranch is now the principal asset of the Tejon Ranch Company, which was incorporated in 1936. The Company’s stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “TRC.”
	In May, 2008, Tejon Ranch Company reached agreement with five of the nation’s largest and most powerful environmental resource organizations on a comprehensive, ranch–wide conservation and land use plan. The agreement with the Sierra Club, Natural Resources Defense Council, Audubon California, the Planning and Conservation League and Endangered Habitats League, calls for the permanent conservation of up to 240,000 acres of the Ranch. It also establishes and provides the mechanism for funding a private conservancy that will work with Tejon Ranch Company to manage the conserved lands. The agreement also opens the door to significant public access to the Ranch and all parties have pledged to work with the State toward the development of a new State Park. The environmental organizations have also agreed not to challenge the Ranch’s development projects on the remaining ten percent of its land.

	Farming and ranching have been the primary activities at the Ranch over the years and will continue under the agreement, as will its hunting, filming, mining and oil production activities.

	Tejon Ranch’s development projects are located in the western portion of the Ranch along existing Interstate 5. Tejon Ranch’s business park, Tejon Industrial Complex (TIC), is located near the junction of Highway 99 and Interstate 5, California’s primary north–south thoroughfare. Its 1,400 acres include both commercial and industrial space. At build–out, TIC is expected to create more than 6,000 jobs, generate annual local taxes in excess of $5.5 million, and serve as the source of significant economic opportunity for thousands of California families.

	In partnership with DMB Associates, Inc., of Scottsdale, Ariz., Tejon Ranch is developing an exceptional environmentally sensitive mountain resort community called Tejon Mountain Village (TMV). A convenient 45 minutes from Bakersfield, one hour from Los Angeles, and two hours from Orange County, Tejon Mountain Village will be a remarkable place to live and/or visit. Its housing options will include both clustered and estate homes, all in a beautiful natural setting. TMV will also feature world–class resort hotels, championship golf courses and hiking and equestrian trails.

	Tejon Ranch is also partnering with three major homebuilders in the development of the master–planned self sustaining new town community of Centennial, which is located in Los Angeles County. The partnership of Tejon Ranch, Lewis Investment Company, Pardee Homes and Standard Pacific Homes, plans to build an entire, self–contained, sustainable community consisting of about 23,000 homes, along with schools, medical facilities, police and fire stations, recreational facilities and plenty of commercial and industrial space for businesses. Centennial is designed to address not just the region's housing needs, but also local needs –– from emergency services and health care to entertainment, recreational opportunities and jobs.
