"By 1886, the family chose to live primarily at the Ojo del Agua rancho, as they jointly inherited 22,000 acres (8,900 ha) around the estate. However, the move was temporary, as scandal caused by the marital complications of Hiram Morgan Hill's prominent socialite sister, Sarah Althea Hill, and her husband, Senator William Sharon, made the Hills a source of social ridicule, thus causing them to start spending the majority of their time between San Francisco and Washington, D. C. , thus leaving their rancho untouched for long periods of time. In 1892, Hiram Morgan Hill contracted land developer C. H. Phillips to divide and liquidate the Rancho Ojo del Agua de la Coche, only retaining the Villa Mira Monte estate and the surrounding 200 acres (81 ha) , which the Hill family would hold until 1916. By 1898, a significant community had built around what was then known as Morgan Hill's Ranch, and a Southern Pacific Railroad station was built in the Huntington area. Rather than ask to stop at Huntington station, passengers would ask to stop at "Morgan Hill's Ranch", which eventually shortened to "Morgan Hill". '" (from Wikipedia); Signed by Author.…

"Morgan Hill Along Monterey Road north of Morgan Hill's downtown stands a prominent Victorian-era house. It sets the scene of a bittersweet love story that helped inspire the birth of our city. Once upon a time, Villa Miramonte was the country estate belonging to Hiram Morgan Hill, the man for whom our town was named. Born on March 4, 1848, Hill grew up on a modest southern plantation in Cape Girardeau, Mo. , on the banks of the Mississippi River. His parents died when he was still a young boy, and he and his sister Sarah Althea Hill were raised by their guardian grandmother. At age 22, Hill fell in love with his first cousin. To prevent a family scandal, the grandmother ordered him to leave the estate. So in 1870, Hill and his sister moved to San Francisco. There he found work as a bank clerk and part-time clothes model at the Palace Hotel for the esteemed haberdashery Bullocks and Jones, according to historian Beth Wyman's biography "Hiram Morgan Hill.
