History
Rancho Zayante was granted in 1834 by Governor José Figueroa to Joaquin Buelna, who had been a teacher in San Jose and of (part of today's city of Santa Cruz). Buelna never occupied the land and the grant lapsed. It was re-granted in 1841 by Governor Juan Alvarado to Joseph Ladd Majors.Ogden Hoffman, 1862, Reports of Land Cases Determined in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, Numa Hubert, San Francisco

Joseph Ladd Majors (1806–1868), a trapper from , came to California in 1834 over the Santa Fe Trail in a party that included . In 1838, Majors became a naturalized Mexican citizen and, at least temporarily, changed his name to Juan José Crisostomo Mayor. In 1839, Majors married María de los Angeles Castro (1818–1903), daughter of José Joaquín Castro of Rancho San Andrés. Majors' new status as a Mexican citizen and member of the Castro family allowed him to apply for and receive the grant of Rancho San Agustin (today's Scotts Valley). Majors then acted as middleman to obtain the additional grant of Rancho Zayante for Graham, who was not a Mexican citizen and therefore was not allowed to own land. In 1852, Majors testified before the Public Land Commission saying, "It was granted in my name because I was a Mexican citizen and could hold land but I held it for Graham and others who, not being citizens, could not hold it in their name." Graham's reputation would probably have precluded him from achieving Mexican citizenship, and his personal prejudices prevented him from applying. Rancho Zayante
