History

Esperanza Ranch Cemetery lies in east-central Duval County near the small community of San Jose, about ten miles east of Benavides. San Jose was settled before 1906, when its school opened, and grew into a ranching community with a church and school that served the surrounding country into the mid-20th century. The cemetery is a modest ranch burial ground with several dozen graves reflecting the Tejano families who worked this land.
