A 100' aerial view overlooking the historic hamlet of Hornitos, California. The name is Spanish for "little ovens", a reference to the shape of the Mexican tombstones that were built in the area. Domingo Ghirardelli, who founded Ghirardelli Chocolate, had a store here from 1856 to 1859 where he perfected his chocolate recipes. The ruins of the store can be seen in this view. Hornitos as of 2010 had a recorded census population of 75.
