Notes par John Julian H Pope

The area now known as Pope Valley was originally named for the Indians
who lived there, the Wappos. The first white settler in Pope Valley was
Julian Pope, from whom the valley derived its name. Born in Kentucky, as
a young man he moved to Mexico where he lived as a hunter and trapper.
In 1830, he visited the Mexican town of San Diego for the purpose of
procuring supplies and was arrested because he had violated the Mexican
law by entering their county without a passport. He was confined for about
a year, when the captain of an American merchant ship which had entered
the port, heard of Pope's plight and prevailed upon the Mexican officials to
release him. In 1836, he emigrated with his family to Los Angeles and in 1841 he obtained a land grant (The Locallome land grant) to what is now
Pope Valley from the Mexican government, and brought his family to Napa
County. The grant was approximately six miles long and three miles wide.
Julian and his family built an adobe homestead and named it Rancho
Locallome. The governor signed his grant, affixed the government seal,
Julian Pope paid the twenty-five cent fee and became the owner of
Pope Valley. The earliest recorded settlers to arrive in Pope Valley was in 1843. The main industry in Pope Valley was raising stock, cattle, horses, sheep & hogs being the principal sources of income. Grizzly bears were the worst pest to which the stockmen had to contend. The bears would
come into the fields and corrals and kill the young livestock. They were
numerous till the 1870's.
