==History==
Cholame was originally a rancheria of the Salinian Indians,〔 but it was re-formed as the 73,000-acre Rancho Cholame by Robert Edgar Jack and his father-in-law, W.W. Hollister.〔Dan Krieger, "Ranch Near Where James Dean Died in Crash Has a Long History," ''San Luis Obispo Tribune,'' May 17, 2015, page B3]〕
Jack studied at Maine Wesleyan Seminary, and he later was an accountant at a shipping house in New York City. In the Civil War he enlisted in the 56th New York Volunteer Infantry Regiment, and he served in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, during the Battle of Gettsyburg and then in New York to quell "anti-Negro riots" there. Near the end of the war he removed to California and became Hollister's accountant and secretary on the latter's San Justo Ranch surrounding the present city of Hollister. When that property was subdivided, the two bought the Cholame land. Jack married Hollister's daughter, Lucy Ellen (Nellie) in 1870 and became the largest wool grower in Central California, later switching to cattle and agriculture. Jack organized the County Bank of San Luis Obispo.〔
The land was sold to the Hearst Corporation in 1966 and is still a working cattle ranch.〔David W. Kean, ''Wide Places in the California Roads: The encyclopedia of California's small towns and the roads that lead to them'' (Volume 1 of 4: Southern California Counties), pp. 44-45.〕
