Rancho Yajome was a 6,654-acre (26.93 km2) Mexican land grant in present day Napa County, California given in 1841 by Governor Juan Alvarado to Damaso Rodríguez, a soldier who did not occupy the property. The rancho is east of the Napa River and north of Napa.[1]
History
The one and a half leagues were granted to Damaso Antonio Rodríguez (1782 - 1847). Rodriguez was a corporal of the Monterey Company, and transferred to the Santa Barbara Company in 1818. From 1833 he was alferez of the San Francisco Company, and sometimes commander of the post. While officially being an invalido, he was at Sonoma from 1837 in the service of General Mariano Guadalupe Vallejo. Rodriguez was involved in the 1846 Battle of Olompali and died soon after. [2]
The property was not occupied and Salvador Vallejo, brother of General Vallejo, and grantee of Rancho Napa, applied for the property in 1852, and the grant was patented to Salvador Vallejo in 1864.[3][4]
The Silverado Resort is located on 1,200 acres (4.9 km2) of the rancho acquired by General John Franklin Miller in 1869, 1873 and 1881.
