Mission Nuestra Señora de la Soledad was founded on October 9, 1791 to minister and take in the Indians of the Salinas Valley. It was the thirteenth of the Spanish missions founded in California by members of the Franciscan Order.
The Chalon (a subgroup of the Ohlone), arguably the original residents of the valley, were converted and brought to live here, followed by Esselen and Yokuts. By 1803, there were 627 Indians at the mission.
The Chalon are one of eight divisions of the Ohlone(Costanoan) people of Native Americans who lived in Northern California. Chalon (also called Soledad) is also the name of their spoken language, listed as one of the Ohlone (alias Costanoan) languages of the Utian family.
The Esselen were a Native American linguistic group in the hypothetical Hokan language family, who resided in what is now known as Big Sur in the Monterey Bay Area, California. Archaeological and linguistic evidence indicates that the original people's territory once extended much further north, into the San Francisco Bay Area, until they were displaced by the entrance of Ohlone speakers.
The Yokuts (at one time also known as Mariposans[1]) are an ethnic group of Native Americans native to inland central California. Before the arrival of Europeans (pre-contact), the Yokuts consisted of up to 60 separate tribes speaking the same language.
