One and one half miles north of here at the second crossing of Chiles Creek is the spot known as Whiskey Crossing. Although shrouded in folklore, the origin of the name is based on a probable incident from the early days of Napa County, when a man returning from Joseph B. Chiles' Rancho Catacula with a cask of whiskey was fording the creek and the cask toppled from his wagon and burst apart in the water. Another tale holds that teamsters traveling from Knoxville to Napa would break open or perhaps finish a bottle there at about the halfway point in the journey.
