|
Mission La Purisima Concepcion was founded December 8th, 1787 by Padre Lasuen and named the Immaculate Conception of Mary the Most Pure. In 1788 the first buildings were begun and the mission was complete in 1791. The earthquake of 1812 destroyed much of the the mission and it was moved to a new site in 1815 and new buildings were erected. The mission was secularized in 1834 and sold in 1845. It was returned to the church in 1874 but sold because of the dilapidated condition. In 1935, the State of California acquired and restored the mission. Restoration was finished in 1937.
