History

 
The Malaguerra Winery in Madrone, built in 1869 by José María Malaguerra, is a National Historic Landmark.

The area now known as Madrone had long been known as a popular campsite for Spanish colonists traveling between Monterey and San Jose. However, Madrone was first permanently settled in 1835, during the period of Mexican rule in California, by Juan María Hernández, who was granted the Rancho Refugio de la Laguna Seca. In 1845, the rancho came into the hands of Captain William Fisher, the first American citizen to own land in the area.

Soon after the 1850 American Conquest of California, the area was organized as the Burnett Township in 1852, named after Peter Hardeman Burnett, the first American Governor of California and local resident.[5][6] By 1882, settlement came to be known as Madrone, after the Pacific Madrone, with the popularity of the local Madrone Mineral Springs.[7]

The City of Morgan Hill annexed the Town of Madrone in 1959, rendering Madrone as a historic neighborhood of Morgan Hill.[2]
