Hope Ranch real estate was purchased in 1861 by the enclave’s namesake, Thomas Hope, who  raised sheep on the land. (Much of the wool produced by Hope’s flock went to  make uniforms for Civil War soldiers.) The Southern Pacific Railroad purchased  Hope’s property after his death in 1876 and by 1900 had announced it planned to  build villas with the intention to market Hope  Ranch, California homes as the “playground of the world.”
