North Sacramento was originally part of a 44,000-acre (178 km²) land grant made by the Spanish government to Eliab Grimes in 1844.

He converted the ranch on the property into a thoroughbred horse breeding farm, producing California's first Kentucky Derby winner in 1886. The area of Del Paso Heights was pasture land for horses and cattle through the 1800s. [1]
