Best Answer

In 1769, the Portola Expedition visited the area north of Monterey. They gave it the name Santa Cruz, meaning Sacred Cross. In 1774, a Father Palou traveled along the coast north of Santa Cruz and chose a site at the northern end of the Monterey Bay. He found a river flowing into the ocean and concluded that the area would support a large, successful mission. On August 28, 1791, Father Lasuen raised a cross where Santa Cruz Mission was to be founded. On September 25, 1791, it was formally founded. Father Lasuen was not present at the Santa Cruz Mission dedication, and Fathers Salazar and Lopez conducted the founding celebration. However, the Franciscan Fathers from Santa Clara and the commandante of the San Francisco Presidio were there.

LONG AGO

Ohlone men were skilled Indians . Their most prized possessions were the bows they crafted by hand. A hunter could take 10 days to perfect his bow. Arrowheads were made from rocks and a natural glass called obsidian,were shaped by hand.All weapons and tools were made from wood,stones,shells,or animal bones. :D

Olhlone women had jobs to.They would make baskets. these handwoven baskets were a necessity for the Ohlone women. Baskets were used for daily life chores. Women used the baskets to shake and separate seeds from plants,to carry and store water,to cook food and to carry almost any load.
