The house was built in 1848–1849 by Juan José Castro. His father Jose Joaquin Castro (1768–1838), came to California as a 6-year-old with his family from Sinaloa Mexico on the 1775–1776 Anza Expedition. Jose Joaquín Castro received this Mexican land grantRancho San Andrés in the area of present-dayWatsonville, California.It had the first dance floor (fandango room) inSanta Cruz County, California, and one of the first indoor kitchens (cocina). It is the only two-story hacienda ever built in Santa Cruz County.[3]

The house was added to theNational Register of Historic Places listings in Santa Cruz County, California on December 12, 1976.[1]It isCalifornia Historical Landmark number 998.[4] The adobe was severely damaged in the1989 Loma Prieta earthquake. One wall had completely collapsed, and the house needed seismic retrofitting before being safe for the public. Owner Edna Kimbro sold it to the state ofCalifornia in 2002. Starting in August 2007, Friends of California State Parks volunteers and theCalifornia Conservation Corps began restoration by making 2,500adobe bricks.[5] Almost 100 members of the Castro family held a reunion at the site in 2008.[6]

TheRancho San Andrés Castro Adobe Park Property is currently (2024) open to the public only by appointment, special event, or free scheduled open house tour. Tour registration is via the website.
