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.
