Isaac Graham (September 1, 1800 — November 3, 1863) was a fur trader and mountain man. In 1830, he joined a hunting and trapping party at Fort Smith, Arkansas that included George Nidever. Graham attended the rendezvous of 1832 and took part in the battle of Pierre's Hole. Later, he was an early American immigrant into Mexican Alta California, where he established a distillery near Monterey. In 1836, Graham led a group of American and European immigrants who supported Juan Bautista Alvarado in the coup against Governor Nicolás Gutiérrez. Later, Alvarado turned against Graham and had him arrested in 1840. This action led to a diplomatic crisis, involving Mexico, the United States and the United Kingdom, that became known as the "Graham Affair". After his release in 1841, Graham moved north to the Santa Cruz area, where he again established a distillery and a sawmill near the present-day community of Felton. Graham Hill Road, now a major route between Felton and Santa Cruz, was built by Graham to transport his timber to the coast for shipment.
