Rancho San Miguel (Noe)
Rancho San Miguel was a 4,443-acre (17.98 km2) Mexican land grant in present-day San Francisco County, California given in 1845 by Governor Pío Pico to José de Jesús Noé. The grant included what is now known as Eureka Valley and extended past Mount Davidson almost to present-day Daly City. The grant encompassed the present-day San Francisco neighborhoods of Noe Valley, the Castro, Glen Park, Diamond Heights, and St. Francis Wood.
José de Jesús Noé (1805-1862) was born in Puebla, Mexico, and came to California with his wife, Guadalupe Garduno, in 1834 with the Hijar-Padres Colony. During the last years of Mexican rule in California, José Noé held several administrative posts in San Francisco. He was alcalde in 1842 and in part of 1846. José Noé received the one square league Rancho San Miguel grant in 1845.
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 San Miguel was filed with the Public Land Commission in 1852, and the grant was patented to José de Jesús Noé in 1857.
