Background
The Kelly family settled in southeastern San Diego County in 1860. Charles Kelly (b. 1881) was a rancher and a livestock raiser following the footsteps of his father. He befriended the Indians who were moving from Vallecitos Valley between 1860 and 1875. In 1900, most of the Kelly ranch was converted to the Inaja-Cosmit Reservation.
