San Simeon was founded as an asistencia ("sub-mission") to Mission San Miguel Arcángel, located to the east across the Santa Lucia Range. It is on the Rancho Piedra Blanca Mexican land grant given in 1840 to José de Jesús Pico. In 1865, Pico sold part of the rancho to George Hearst, the father of William Randolph Hearst.
