General Information
The city of San Luis Obispo is built on the site of one of California’s oldest Franciscan missions and is originally named after a 13th century saint and bishop, Louis of Toulouse. In 1772, a Spanish Franciscan named Junipero Serra decided to build this Mission San Luis Obispo de Tolosa in the area called “Cañada de Los Osos” (The Valley of the Bears). Here the climate was mild and the Chumash people were kind and friendly, sharing their abundant supplies of food and water.
Things changed after the Mexicans won their independence from Spain in 1821. By the mid 1830s, the Spanish Franciscans were expelled, and the areas settled by them became more inclusive of all religions. Not long after this, the area earned a new name, “Barrio del Tigre” (Tiger Town) for its lawlessness, playing a part in what became known as the “Wild West.”
Today, that history is carefully preserved at the original Mission San Luis Obispo de Tolosa, the San Luis Obispo County Historical Museum and the San Luis Obispo Museum of Art.
