Rancho Zayante was a 2,658-acre (10.76 km2) Mexican land grant in present day Santa Cruz County, California. The grant, measuring one league by one-half league (2,658 acres), straddled Zayante Creek, near its confluence with the San Lorenzo River. It included most of the present day communities of Mount Hermon and Olympia, parts of Felton, Ben Lomond, Quail Hollow and Brackney, but not Zayante. Rancho Zayante was granted in 1834 by Governor Jose Figueroa to Joaquin Buelna, who had been a teacher in San Jose and [alcalde] of Branciforte (part of today's city of Santa Cruz). The grant lapsed, and it was re-granted in 1841 by Governor Juan Alvarado to Joseph Ladd Majors. Joseph Ladd Majors (1806–1868), a trapper from Tennessee, came to California over the Santa Fe Trail with Capt. Isaac Graham in 1834. In 1838, Majors became a naturalized Mexican citizen and, at least temporarily, changed his name to Juan Jose Crisostomo Mayor.
