Re: The word "puesto" The word: "puesto" has several meanings. It can mean a place, a stand, as in a fruit stand ( un puesto en el mercado) . In the military it means a Post or guard station. John Gonzalez Wildomar, CA 1/2 way between San Diego and Riverside

You're welcome, Maria..."puesto" is a way of saying "place". I think it's sort of a neutral word. At least that's how I understand it.

I had been wondering about the <BR> term "Estancia". I've also seen "Estanzuela" and I would guess it <BR> derived from the word "Estancia"? The other term I've come across <BR> is "Puesto". I picture that to be even smaller than a Rancho, but I <BR> am not sure. I really haven't looked into it.

A town <BR> can be anything from a single dwelling to a formally organized group <BR> of homes and families with formal organization. I think it's <BR> important to keep in mind that some words in use today are holdovers <BR> from long ago. For example, "villa" meant a community with at least <BR> 25 white european families as permanent residents. Permission had to <BR> petitioned from the Spanish Crown to be granted such status. <BR> A "pueblo" was a community in which biracial, white, and indigenous <BR> people lived. A "ranchería" was a community of indigenous people <BR> only (usually "wild", i.e. unbaptized). The other term I have seen <BR> while reading old documents is "estancia". This last word refers to <BR> a bivouac area. These terms and their meanings disappeared along <BR> with the Spanish after Mexico separated from Spain. I think that the <BR> word "pueblo" has remained in the voaculary of many people but <BR> meaning that are different from place to place. I think it's really <BR> difficult to find a simple equivalent because words change so much <BR> over time in English as well as in Spanish.<BR> > <BR> > David Delgado in Albany, CA<BR> > <BR> > -----Original Message-----<BR> > From: Joseph Puentes <makas@n...><BR> > Sent: Jul 1, 2005 4:07 PM<BR> > To: LosRanchos <ranchos@yahoogroups.com><BR> > Subject: [ranchos] What is a Rancho???<BR> > <BR> > <html><body><BR> > <BR> > <BR> > <tt><BR> > <BR><BR> > What would the English equivelent of a rancho be????<BR><BR> > <BR><BR> > I think of it as a small, small community as in a large <BR> neighborhood.<BR><BR> > <BR><BR> > what are others thoughts on this?<BR><BR> > <BR><BR> > thanks,<BR><BR> > <BR><BR> > joseph<BR><BR> > <BR><BR> > <BR><BR> > </tt><BR> > <BR> > <BR> > <?---- LSpots keywords ?><BR> > <?---- HM ADS ?><BR> > <BR> > <BR> > <!-- |**|begin egp html banner|**| --><BR> > <BR> > <BR> > <br><BR> > <div style="text-align:center; color:#909090; width:500px;"><BR> > <hr style="border-bottom:1px; width:500px; text-align:left;"><BR> > <tt>YAHOO!
