[[File:Casa de los Gobernadores (Carmichael, California).png|thumb|left|[[Casa de los Gobernadores]] was originally built in 1975 as the [[Governor of California]]'s official residence.]]
Daniel W. Carmichael (born 1867) came to California in 1885.<ref>Leigh Hadley Irvine, 1905, ''A history of the new California: its resources and people, Volume 2, The Lewis Publishing Company</ref> In 1909, he developed Carmichael Colony No. I, {{convert|2000|acre|km2|0}} of what was once part of the [[Rancho San Juan]] [[Ranchos of California|Mexican land grant]]. He later bought another {{convert|1000|acre|km2|0}}, previously part of the [[Rancho Del Paso]] Mexican land grant, that he called Carmichael Colony No. 2. It bordered the first colony to the east and Walnut Avenue to the west; the southern boundary was Arden Way with Sutter Avenue to the north.

[[Casa de los Gobernadores]] was built in 1974, to serve as the official residence of the [[Governor of California]]. However, the residence was never occupied and was sold to private citizens in 1983.
