Rancho Tulucay

Rancho Tulucay was a 8,866-acre (35.88 km2) Mexican land grant in present day Napa County, California given in 1841 by Governor pro tem Manuel Jimeno to Cayetano Juarez.

Under the leadership of General Mariano Vallejo, Juarez was assigned an active role in managing the land and associated native population in the Napa/Sonoma County region.

For his decade of service to the Mexican government, Juarez was granted the two square league Rancho Tulocay.

In 1840 (before the grant deed was finalized) Cayetano Juarez moved his family from Sonoma to Napa Valley.

[5] 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.
