History

The founder was José Martínez y Saldivar, a wealthy man from Cuba. He bought a plantation in Columbia County in 1869 and named it El Cordero Rancho (“The Lamb Ranch”). He wanted to be an American soldier. He ended up having four daughters who married very wealthy men, one being a Dr. Perrin who died around 1940. El Cordero Ranch is now only 20 acres (8.1 ha) in size. His old home (hacienda) and several buildings, barns and a water tower original to the property still stand at 3654 Old Ferry Road.
