The fourth of the 21 California missions founded, the San Gabriel Mission is rich in the history and traditions of early California. The Mission church was built from 1791 to 1805 and became known as the “Pride of the Missions” for its large production of crops and trading of cattle hides and wine. Some of this history has been preserved for viewing in the church, museum, and grounds.
San Gabriel Mission has been designated as California Historical Landmark #161.
