History:

Land at Escobosa was homesteaded by several brothers from the Mora family in the late 19th century.  The village is named "Escobosa", Spanish for broomgrass, because villagers supplemented their incomes by making brooms from grass which grew in the area.  The rock church of San Isidro Labrador was built in 1932 or 1933 by the families of the community.  The feast of the village’s patron saint, San Isidro, is celebrated on May 15.  Both the Chilili and Escobosa churches belonged to the Manzano parish until 1973.

 

Mayordomos:

Alfred and Polly Martinez
