Vision

It is our vision to build a historical park, Rancho Nipomo, with the Dana Adobe as its centerpiece.

History

Rancho Nipomo was one of the first and largest of the Mexican land grants in San Luis Obispo County. Captain Dana, then a naturalized citizen in business in Santa Barbara, had applied for it in 1835, and the grant was confirmed by Governor Juan B. Alvarado on April 6, 1837. It consisted of 37,887.91 acres.
