Best Answer

It was founded by Father Presidente Junipero Serra, and is nicknamed "Mission by the Sea".

Mission San Buenaventura was founded on Easter Sunday, March 31, 1782 in what is now Ventura, California, but was at that time known as Las Californias, part of the Spanish Viceroyalty of New Spain. Named for a Franciscan theologian, Saint Bonaventure, it was the last of the missions founded by Father Serra, but ninth in the series of missions to be built. Mission San Buenaventura was planned to be founded in the year 1770, but the founding was delayed because of the low availability of the military escorts needed to establish Mission San Buenaventura. In 1793, the first church burned down. Today, only a small section of the entire mission still stands; the cemetery to the left of the church is covered by a school. It took the neophytes (native American Chumash Indians) 16 years to build the new church, which still stands today.
