After the discovery of Alta California, the Spanish Crown charged
the first Franciscan friars to enter into the New World through
Lower Baja, with a succession of conquistadors, explorers, and
soldiers, on a trail called El Camino Real or "The Royal Road." The
settlement began in 1769 at Mission San Diego de Alcal, a new port
and military presidio with buildings of mud, brushwood, and tule
grass. Fr. Jun pero Serra, the legendary mission presidente and
founding father of nine missions, traveled along a worn path lined
today by symbolic bell markers leading to many remarkable, modern
cities. After 1772, settlements were spread to California's central
coast region, filling with native neophytes who became the
residents and builders of all mission settlements. The Spanish
missions had brought dramatic changes to California's landscape and
forged the underpinnings of its earliest history, founded
serendipitously with the American Revolution and birth of the
United States.
