'''Mission San José''' was founded on Trinity Sunday (June 11), 1797 on a site located in the "Mission San Jose District" of Fremont, California (formerly an independent town, a spot that the natives called ''Oroysom'' or ''Orisom'') in the "Valley of San José."  The settlement was the site of the first Ceasarian section childbirth in Alta California.<ref name="ruscin196">Ruscin, p. 196</ref> The Mission entered a long period of gradual decline after secularization in 1834, though numerous restoration efforts in the intervening periods have reconstructed many of the original structures.

In the early part of the 1900s a sign was erected on the roof of the museum which read "Mission San Jose de Guadalupe" (in reference to ''el pueblo de San José de Guadalupe'', the first civic settlement in Alta California, founded in 1777&nbsp;<ref name="ruscin196">Ruscin, p. 196</ref>). This misnomer is often used by authors and even government agencies to this day when referring to the installation.

Mission San Gabriel Arcángel

Mission San Gabriel Arcángel is a former religious outpost established by Spanish colonists on the west coast of North America in the present-day State of California. Founded on September 8 ("The Feast of the Birth of the Blessed Virgin Mary"), 1771 by Roman Catholics of the Franciscan Order, the settlement was the fourth in the twenty-one mission Alta California chain. Named for the Archangel Gabriel, the Mission (site of the first hospital in Alta California) has been historically referred to as the "Godmother of the Pueblo of Los Angeles." Mission San Gabriel also unknowingly witnessed the origin of the California citrus industry with the planting of the region's first significant orchard in 1804. Designated as both a National Historic Landmark and a California Historical Landmark, today the Mission serves as a museum as well as a parish church within the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Los Angeles.
