The site of the Swift Adobe. Granville P. Swift was an early settler in the Orland area. He built the Swift Adobe on Hambright Creek in 1845. Granville P. Swift was also a member of the Bear Flag Party of 1846. Granville P. Swift crossed the plains to Oregon in 1843 and entered California with the Kelsey party in 1844. In 1849, in partnership with Frank Sears (for whom the former Sears Raceway near Sonoma is named after), he purchased the cattle and brand of the Larkin grant from J. S. Williams. Swift soon had droves of cattle herded by Indian vaqueros, and rodeos were held annually at this adobe site. Location: Old Hwy 99 W at Hambright Creek, 1.0 mi N of Orland
