Welcome to the Misión Vieja Blog

This is a blog dedicated to the history of the Misión Vieja community, the location of the first European settlement in Los Angeles, but also a thriving location of native American residence for thousands of years.



This site will deal with Indian villages; the original Mission San Gabriel; the historic Soto-Sanchez Adobe; the ranchos La Merced, Potrero Chico, Potrero Grande and Potrero de Felipe Lugo; the Montebello oil field; and such early families as Alvitre, Barry, Bermudez, Davis, Manzanares, Sanchez, Temple and Zuñiga and more; and plenty of other fascinating and educational history involving this unique part of the Los Angeles Region.



Check back regularly and please leave comments and questions to make this blog as interactive and informative as it can be.
