Rancho Aguajito
Rancho Aguajito was a 3,323-acre (13.45 km2) Mexican land grant in present-day Monterey County, California given in 1835 by Governor José Figueroa to Gregorio Tapia.[1] The grant was south of Monterey and encompassed Hotel Del Monte, the present-day Naval Postgraduate School, and the Del Monte Golf Course.[2][3]
History
Gregorio Tapia (1814-) married Maria Martina Vasquez (1814-) in 1830.
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 Aguajito was filed with the Public Land Commission in 1853,[4][5] and the grant was patented to Gregorio Tapia in 1868.[6]
David Jacks, owner of the adjoining Rancho Pescadero bought the rancho. David Jacks sold the rancho to the Pacific Improvement Company in 1880.
