The most famous of all the missions in the California system established in the 18th century by Franciscan friar Junipero Serra, Mission San Juan Capistrano still contains the Serra Chapel, the oldest church in California, and the only building still standing where the good padre celebrated mass.

Its epic story encompasses the rancho days and land barons, California statehood, the arrival of the San Diego Freeway in 1958, city incorporation in 1961, and recent growth from 10,000 residents in 1974 to 34,000 in 2004.;In the name of the crown: 1776-1821 -- Mexican hiatus: 1821-1848 -- Yanks and ranchos: 1848-1887 -- Progress and culture: 1887-1910 -- Chasing rainbows: 1910-1930 -- Forging and community: 1930-1950 -- Postwar challenges: 1950-1974 -- Preservation and change: 1974-2000 -- Honoring past and future: 2000 to Present.
