Misiones (Spanish for missions). Most towns and cities with Spanish names found in California, Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico and Texas started as small religious missions to convert the Native Americans found in such lands. One example of such religious buildings is the Santa Clara Mission, established in 1777 in Santa Clara, California (now in the middle of Silicon Valley).
