Domingo Zanone was an Italian immigrant who came to California in 1849 during the gold rush, and spent seven years in the Mother Lode in central California. In 1866 he came to Humboldt County and started raising cattle at Petrolia near Cape Mendocino. He eventually accumulated over 5000 acres on the coast. His great great grandson, Joseph Zanone, still resides on 3000 acres there and continues to raise cattle.

This my landlord, J Z. I didn't realize his family had been here that long. I had assumed thet Domingo Creek was named after him so I did a little research.

Their coast ranch is one of the most spectacular pieces of real estate on the planet.
This just south of their ranch on the coast.
