" His
detailed

Historical Data
Mission
Nuestra
Sen~ora
Reina
de
los
Angeles
(Church
of
Our
Lady
the
Queen
of the
Angels)
, was
founded
on
September
4
,
1781
by a
group
of
Spanish
settlers
. The
church
was
considered
an
asistencia
("sub-mission")
of
Mission
San
Gabriel
Arca´ngel
.
Priests
from
Mission
San
Gabriel
divided
their
time
between
the
mission
and the
Asistencia
site
, but
ultimately
the
installation
was
never
granted
mission
status
and the
missionaries
eventually
abandoned
the
site
. The
surrounding
area
was
named
El
Pueblo
de
Nuestra
Sen~ora
la
Reina
de
los
Angeles
del
Ri´o
de
Porciu´ncula
("The
Town
of
Our
Lady
the
Queen
of the
Angels
on the
River
Porciu´ncula
",
which
is
the
present-day
City
of
Los
Angeles)
. A
chapel
,
La
Iglesia
de
Nuestra
Sen~ora
Reina
de
los
Angeles
, was
later
erected
and
dedicated
on
December
8
,
1822
, and for
years
served
as the
sole
Roman
Catholic
church
in the
Pueblo
.
It
is
the
oldest
church
in the
city
of
Los
Angeles
.
It
was
dedicated
as
California
Historic
Landmark
#144
.
