Century Ranch came into being as the dream-fulfilled of a Bay Area scientist from Switzerland, Rolf Peter. According to the surviving literature, he visited the area and was enthralled by its Alps-like quality and wanted to share its beauty with others. Consequently, he formed a company, Century Ranch International, Inc., and began development in the mid-60s. The area was a going concern for several years and then went bust when events overtook reality in the form of unplanned and unsustainable development costs.
