The plaque says, "On September 22, 1779, Juan Bautista de Anza, with a party of over 200 emigrants and soldiers, set out from the presidio at Tubac, Mexico, to found San Francisco. His party reached the San Gabriel Mission on January 4, 1776, after many miles of torturous travel. Here they learned that Indians had burned the San Diego mission and murdered Father Luis Jayme. Anza and part of his escort were ordered to ride immediately to San Diego to assist in suppressing the Indian rebellion. The Anza relief party made its first camp near here on January 7, 1776."
