Mission San Jose

 

MISSION SAN JOSE

At the Ohlone Indian village of Oroysom, Padre Fermin Fransisco De Lasuen founded this fourteenth of twenty-one Franciscan missions June 11, 1797.  The Ohlone orchestra and choir became famous. By 1830 almost 2,000 Indians were living at the mission. The mission was secularized in 1836 and its lands divided into ranchos.
