Vichy Springs, California
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vichy Springs is a small unincorporated community in Napa County, California.[1][2] Vichy Springs is situated south of the Silverado Country Club and Milliken Creek on Montecello Road a few miles northeast of Napa.
Vichy Springs and most of the surrounding lands had once been part of the Mexican land grant called Rancho Yajome, which had been granted to the Mexican General Mariano G. Vallejo. Most of this watershed was wilderness area to at least 1869, and thereafter this portion of the Milliken Creek watershed, which historically and to present has a robust steelhead run, was developed as pasture and grazing agricultural uses.[3]
