The plaque says, "Like much of San Juan Capistrano, the Los Rios Street Historic District and surrounding area was home to Native Americans of the Acjachemen Nation before San Jan Capistrano was established in 1776. The first adobe home for Mission neophytes and soldiers were built here in 1794, some of which remain to this day, including the Rios Adobe, Montanez Adobe, and Silvas Adobe. Wood-fram structures began to be built in the late 1800's and into the early 1900's. The Los Rios Street Historic District is the oldest continually occupied residential street in California. Many historic familes of San Juan were and are connected to the Los Rios area, including the Rios, Lobo, Ramos, Yorba, Labat, Olivares, and other families. The Los Rios Street Historic District was listed on the National Register of HIstoric Places in 1983. The area's rich history is depicted by the photographs placed along this Historic Depiction Program wall in 2009."
