San Juan Capistrano was founded by the Spanish in 1776. Extensive damage caused by the 1812 Capistrano earthquake caused the community to decline. Following the Mexican secularization act of 1833, the mission village officially became a town and was briefly renamed as San Juan de Argüello. Following the American Conquest of California, San Juan remained a small, rural town until the 20th century; the restoration of the mission in the 1910-20’s transformed the town into a tourist destination and a backdrop for Hollywood films.
