Micheltorena was appointed governor of California by Mexican President Antonio López de Santa Anna and served from 30 December 1842, until his ouster in 1845.
In 1844, while he was governor, he granted Rafael Cacho the 8,701-acre land of Rancho San Geronimo. In 1846, Cacho sold the land to Joseph Warren Revere, who used it as a plantation wherein he enslaved Coast Miwok people of Marin County, California.
Micheltorena continued previous governors' policy of large land grants ("ranchos"). He faced criticism, opposition, and eventually rebellion by the Californios who wanted local-born governors.
Micheltorena brought with him from Mexico a group of soldiers that included criminals, and who were derisively referred to by some as cholos, to enforce his policies. Micheltorena was defeated at the 1845 Battle of Providencia, left California, and was succeeded by Pío Pico as governor.
