Rancho Valle de San José
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rancho Valle de San José (also called "Valle de San José y Corralitos") was a 48,436-acre (196.01 km2) Mexican land grant in present-day Alameda County, California. It was made up of the former pasture land belonging to Mission San José.
It was given in 1839 by Governor Juan Alvarado to Antonio Maria Pico, Agustín Bernal (1797–1872), Juan Pablo Bernal (1810–1878), and Antonio Suñol (in conjunction with his wife María Dolores Bernal de Suñol).[1] The grant encompassed present-day Sunol and Pleasanton.[2][3]
