Mission San Jose

Founded on June 11, 1797 by Padre Fermin Francisco de Lasuen at the side of the Ohlone village of Oroysom.
Six years after the founding of the thirteenth mission in Soledad, Father Lasuen was granted permission to establish an additional 5 missions, which he did in just 13 months.
Mission San Jose was the first of these.
Father Lasuen's plan was to locate the missions within one day's travel of another, to be used as a safe rest stop for those traveling along the El Camino Real.
