Best Answer

The establishment of Mission Santa Cruz in 1791 precedes California's history by over 50 years. It was called "Las Californias" and was owned by Spain at that time. There is no doubt that the mission provided care and comfort for north- or south-bound overland travelers despite the cruelties toward the Native Americans that is reported. The population explosion resulting from the discovery of gold at Sutter's Mill in 1848 led to the disastrous reduction of the Native American population, as well as the induction of California into statehood in 1850.
