Rancho Guajome was a 2,219-acre (8.98 km2) Mexican land grant in present-day San Diego County, California, given in 1845 by Governor Pío Pico to Indian brothers Andrés and José Manuel.[2] The name comes from a Luiseño phrase involving the word "frog", likely wakhavumi "frog pond"[3] or waxáawu-may "little frog".[4] The grant was south of the San Luis Rey River and Rancho Monserate and north of present-day Vista.[5] The site is now registered as California Historical Landmark #940.[1]
