Rancho Ulistac was a Mexican land grant in present-day Santa Clara County, California given in 1845 by Governor Pío Pico to Marcello and Cristobal, Indians.〔Ogden Hoffman, 1862, ''Reports of Land Cases Determined in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California'', Numa Hubert, San Francisco〕 The grant extended across lowlands reaching from the Alviso shoreline southward and encompassing the land between the Guadalupe River and Saratoga Creek, and the town of Agnew.〔(Diseño del Rancho Ulistac )〕〔(Early Santa Clara Ranchos, Grants, Patents and Maps )〕 ==History== In 1846, Governor Pico granted one-half square league to Santa Clara Mission indians Marcello and his companion Cristobal. Jacob David Hoppe (1813-1853), was born in Maryland and came to California in 1846. He established a newspaper, which later became the "Alta California". He was elected a delegate to the 1849 California Constitutional Convention. After the discovery of gold, he went to the mines, where he remained a few months with some profit, and returned to San Jose, where he became the first American Postmaster.〔Frederic Hall, 1871, '' The history of San José and surroundings''〕 Hoppe acquired Rancho Ulistac from the original Indian grantees. Hoppe was killed in the explosion of the SS ''Jenny Lind'' en route from Alviso to San Francisco on April 11, 1853. 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. As required by the Land Act of 1851, a claim for Rancho Ulistac was filed with the Public Land Commission in 1852,〔(United States. District Court (California : Northern District) Land Case 323 ND )〕 and the grant was patented to heirs of Jacob D. Hoppe in 1868.〔( Report of the Surveyor General 1844 - 1886 )〕 The Hoppe heirs sold the land in 1860. In 1885, of Rancho Ulistac were developed as a site of the Agnew state hospital for the insane. The hospital was destroyed in the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, leaving 125 dead, but was quickly rebuilt. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rancho Ulistac」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
