Description:
Perry Dowdy is whom the ranch is named after
In the annals of Santa Clara county no more worthy name is to be found than that of the late Judge Perry Dowdy, who came here full fifty years ago, and from that time until his death was an important factor in developing and advancing the agricultural, industrial and business prosperity of this part of the state. By the exercise of his native industry and excellent business ability and tact, he improved a valuable farm near Gilroy, placing the rich land under good cultivation, thus rendering his estate one of the best in the neighborhood. His manly qualities were recognized by his large circle of friends and associates, and he was held in high esteem as an honest man and a valuable member of the community, his death being regretted as a public loss. From the Historical and Biographical Record of Gilroy, California
