Gabilan was a former settlement in Monterey County, California.[1] It was located on the Southern Pacific Railroad 4 miles (6.4 km) northwest of Gonzales,[2] at an elevation of 112 feet (34 m),[1] and was situated in the foothills of the Gabilan Range. In Spanish, gavilan (gabilan is an older alternate rendering) means "sparrow hawk".[3][4] Hawks, especially the red-tailed hawk, are common in the area.
A post office operated at Gabilan (having been transferred from Alisal) from 1869 to 1883, and from 1898 to 1900.[5]
