Mission San Francisco Solano 114 E Spain St, Sonoma, CA 95476 ☎ (707) 938-9560 Last Updated: 04/07/2023 |
| Mission San Francisco Solano was the 21st, last and northernmost mission in Alta California. It was the only mission built in Alta California after Mexico gained independence from Spain. The mission was established by an overly eager padre acting without church approval. The Sonoma Mission is the only mission established during Mexican rule of Alta California. | |
| General Mariano Vallejo, who became Director of Colonization of the Northern Frontier in 1835, and who had control of Sonoma until the American takeover, "rescued" all the plantings from the mission vineyard after secularization and replanted the vines at his ranch. The names of the Indian neophytes of the Sonoma Mission have been carved into a commemorative wall on the west side of the mission church. | |
