Rancho San Miguel (Noé)

[1] It included what is now known as Eureka Valley, and extended past Mount Davidson almost to present-day Daly City; it encompassed the present-day San Francisco neighborhoods of Noe Valley, the Castro, Glen Park, Diamond Heights and St. Francis Wood.

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

[6] After his wife died in 1848, leaving three sons, Noé began selling Rancho San Miguel.

By 1862, French financier François Louis Alfred Pioche owned most of the rancho, but lost it in a foreclosure sale in 1878.

[8] In 1895, Noé's contended that his sale to Horner was illegal, and unsuccessfully sued to have half of the rancho land, their mother's share, restored to them.
