Mission San Francisco Solano
On July 4, 1823, Padre José Altamira founded this northernmost of California's
Franciscan missions, the only one established under independent
Mexico. In 1834, secularization orders were carried out by Military
Commandant Mariano G. Vallejo. San Francisco Solano became a parish
church serving the Pueblo and Sonoma Valley until sold in 1881.
