Everything about Misi N San Fernando Rey De Espa A De Velicat totally explained
» Another mission bearing the name San Fernando Rey de España is located in the Mission Hills neighborhood of Los Angeles, California.
Located in
Baja California,
Mexico about 200 miles south of
Ensenada,
Misión San Fernando Rey de España de Velicatá was the only mission founded by
Franciscans in Baja California.
The site for the future mission was identified by the
Jesuit missionary-explorer
Wenceslaus Linck in 1766. After the Jesuits were replaced by the Franciscans in 1768, the latter were charged with extending Spanish control far to the north, into
Alta California in 1769. Mission San Fernando, at the
Cochimí settlement of Velicatá on the route north, was inaugurated by
Junípero Serra.
In the 1770s, under the Franciscans and then after 1773 under their
Dominican successors, the mission quickly reached its peak and went into decline as epidemics decimated the native population. A missionary was no longer permanently resident at the site after about 1818. A few ruined walls and stone foundations survive at the site as well as
petroglyphs and some remains of
pictograms.
