Rancho Bolsa de San Cayetano

Rancho Bolsa de San Cayetano was a 8,896-acre (36.00 km2) Mexican land grant in present-day Monterey County, California given in 1824 by Governor Luís Antonio Argüello to Ygnacio Ferrer Vallejo, and confirmed to his eldest son, José de Jesús Vallejo, by Governor José Figueroa in 1834.

The grant was bordered on the west by Monterey Bay and on the north by the Pajaro River, and is just south of present-day Watsonville.

[2][3] Ygnacio Vicente Ferrer Vallejo (1740–1832), a sergeant in the Spanish Army of New Spain, came to Alta California in 1774 with Fernando Rivera y Moncada.

Ygnacio Vallejo received the two square league Rancho Bolsa de San Cayetano grant in 1824.

[4] With the cession of California to the United States following the Mexican-American War, the 1848 Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo provided that the land grants would be honored.
