Mission San Angeles

Overview
The mission was founded in 1792 by Spanish priests at the confluence of two rivers in Northern California.

The name translates to “Mission of the Holy Angels.”

The beautifully restored Mission San Angeles is a must-see stop for history-minded visitors.

History
The mission was founded by Spanish priests on August 12, 1792.

On April 22, 1828, the Mexican government secularized the Mission San Angeles and granted much of its land to rancher Juan Madera, who establishes the Rancho Madera.

On November 30, 1828, the Catholic Church closes the now-reduced Mission, regarded as something of a failure as it has attracted few converts from nearby California Indian tribes.
