On June 29, 1776, Fr. Francisco Palou dedicated the first site of Mission San Francisco de Asis on the shores of Dolores Lagoon. At the time, it was a just a patch in the village of Chutchuii, the home of the Ohlone people, and Palou could never have foreseen the vibrant city that would eventually spring up around the humble settlement. The final mission building, popularly known as Mission Dolores and San Francisco’s oldest complete structure, was dedicated on August 2, 1791, at what became Sixteenth and Dolores Streets. After the gold rush, the district around the mission began its dramatic evolution to the diverse area we know today, a bustling mix of immigrants from other states, Europe, and South and Central America.

San Francisco de Solano was the last of the 21 California missions to be built. Fray Altimira began construction on the mission on August 25, 1823. The Spanish were not the only European settlers to live in the area where San Francisco de Solano was built. The Russians built Fort Ross nearby with plans to colonize the area. As many other missions did, Solano began to decline in the 183’s prompting many Indians to leave the missions in search of more stable circumstances.
