Best Answer

The first mission to be built, Mission Santa Clara de Thamien (California Historical Landmark, was established at the Indian village of So-co-is-u-ka on the Guadalupe River, by Franciscan Padres Tomás de la Peña and Joseph Antonio Marguia on January 17, 1777. There they erected a cross and shelter for worship to bring Christianity to the Ohlone/Costanoan people. Floods and earthquakes damaged many of the early structures and forced relocation to higher ground. The second site is known as Mission Santa Clara de Asís. The current site, home to the first college in Alta California, dates back to 1828.
