The Dana Adobe is a historic building in Nipomo, California. It was the home of Boston sea captain William Dana, who was granted 38,000 acres (150 km²) on the central coast of California in 1837. Captain Dana hosted figures such as Henry Tefft and John C. Fremont in his Nipomo home, which also served as an important exchange point on California's first official mail route between Monterey and Los Angeles.
