French Ranch, San Benito County, California

Before the ranch existed, in the early 1850s, the nearby spring was called Aguaje Caballo Blanco (White Horse Watering place), for a broken down white horse that frequented the area during the time Joaquin Murrieta and his gang used La Vereda del Monte here where they rested and watered the droves of wild and stolen horses they drove through here before crossing over the Diablo Range divide at what later became known as Frenchs Pass on their way south to their depot and ranch at Cantua Creek and ultimately to Sonora.^{[2]: 446, 449}
