Daniel W. Carmichael (born 1867) came to California in 1885. [4] In 1909, he developed Carmichael Colony No. I, 2,000 acres (8 km2) of what was once part of the Rancho San Juan Mexican land grant. He later bought another 1,000 acres (4 km2), 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.
