Los Coches Rancho

Los Coches Rancho (Richardson Adobe)

Los Coches Rancho (8994.2 acres) was granted to Maria Josefa Soberanes de Richardson by the Mexican government in 1841. Her husband, William Brunner Richardson, a native of Baltimore, MD., built the adobe house here in 1843, and planted the nearby locust trees in 1846. This was the site of Captain John C. Fremont's encampment in 1846 and 1847. The adobe was used later as a stage station and post office. It was donated to the state of California in 1958 by Margaret Jacks.

Locations: Salinas Valley. Sierra de Salinas.
