In 1771, Father Serra had the Mission San Gabriel Arcángel built near Whittier Narrows in today's nearby San Gabriel Valley.[2] On September 4, 1781, a group of 46 Spanish and Mexican settlers from Sonora set out from the San Gabriel mission to establish a settlement along the banks of the Porciúncula River[3] (now Los Angeles River). These settlers were of African, Filipino [4],Indian and Spanish ancestry, of whom two-thirds were mestizo or mulatto.[5] They created a "sub-mission" known as the Mission Nuestra Señora Reina de los Angeles.

The new governor of California, Felipe de Neve, recommended to the viceroy in Mexico that the site be developed into a pueblo (town). The area was duly named "El Pueblo de Nuestra Señora la Reina de los Ángeles del Río de Porciúncula," ("The Town of Our Lady the Queen of the Angels on the River Porciúncula"). It remained a small ranch town for decades, but by 1820 the population had increased to about 650 residents, making it the largest civilian community in Spanish California.
