- Abstract
Settlement of the Capay Valley in rural Yolo County began in earnest in the 1880s, with land colonization and crop promotion by the Vaca Valley and Clear Lake Railroad Company. Today this historic pattern of small farms and townsites remains. In 2000, increased valley traffic prompted the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) to redesign State Route 16. Federal funding required Section 106 compliance, leading to a collaborative study between historical archaeologists and architectural historians from two Caltrans offices. The study concluded that one ranch, locally known as Tabers' Corner, was eligible for the National Register of Historic Places as an historic district at the local level of significance under criteria A, C, and D. The district contained a significant collection of buildings, landscape features, and potential archaeological deposits that exemplified the agricultural history of the Capay Valley. This paper explores inter-disciplinary collaboration, its historical antecedents at Caltrans, and the Tabers' Corner Historic District itself.
