Rancho Entre Napa

Rancho Entre Napa was a 7,000-acre (28 km2) Mexican land grant in present-day Napa County, California given in 1836 by Governor Mariano Chico to Nicholas Higuera.

[2] Nicholas Higuera was a soldier in San Francisco from 1819–1823, and alcalde at Sonoma.

Higuera subdivided and sold much of the land in 1847, retaining 877 acres (3.5 km2) for himself.

[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.

[21][22] Nathan Coombs (1826–1877) arrived in the Napa Valley in 1845, and bought a small piece of Rancho Tulucay on the east side of the Napa River from Juarez Cayetano.
