Rancho Yokaya

Rancho Yokaya (also called Llokaya) was a 35,541-acre (143.83 km2) Mexican land grant in present-day Mendocino County, California, given in 1845 by Governor Pío Pico to Cayetano Juarez. The name Yokaya means 'south valley' in the language of the Pomo people. The grant extended along the Russian River from the southern end of Ukiah Valley to the northern end of Redwood Valley, from 1 to 2 mi (1.6 to 3.2 km) wide, and approximating 16 mi (26 km) in length, and encompassed present-day Ukiah.
