San Francisco Real Estate - History of San Francisco


San Francisco has a rich history. As early as June 29th, 1776 (5 days before the signing of the Declaration of Independence according to San Francisco History website), Mission Dolores had its first mass. This mission still stands and is featured in our 7th article on "Things to do in San Francisco".

The first colonizing party arrived in 1776 to found the Presidio of San Francisco and Mission Dolores. La Misión de San Francisco de Asis (Mission Dolores) is designated as Registered Landmark Number One of the City and County of San Francisco. The Mission Church is the oldest intact building in San Francisco, and one of the oldest Mission Churches in California.

Mission Dolores was the sixth of 21 missions established by the Franciscans.
