La Iglesia de Nuestra Senora la Reina de Los Angeles was founded on September 4, 1781 by a group of Spanish pobladores (settlers), consisting of 11 families: 44 men, women and children. They were originally led by Fernando Javier Rivera y Moncada (1725-1781), and accompanied by a contingent of soldiers who had set out from the nearby Mission San Gabriel Arcángel to establish a pueblo along the banks of the Porciúncula River at the Indian village of Yang-na. Priests from Mission San Gabriel divided their time between that outpost and the new church site, which was utilized an asistencia, or "sub-mission."
History
The settlement's name was derived from one of the advocations of Mary, mother of Jesus. The new governor of California, Felipe de Neve (the first Spanish governor of Las Californias) subsequently recommended to the viceroy in Mexico that the site be developed into a small agricultural pueblo (town). The installation was therefore never actually granted mission status, and the surrounding area was duly named El Pueblo de Nuestra Señora la Reina de los Angeles del Río de Porciúncula ("The Town of Our Lady the Queen of the Angels on the River Porciúncula" — the present-day City of Los Angeles). The missionaries abandoned the site, where a chapel was later erected (La Iglesia de Nuestra Señora Reina de los Angeles, or "The Church of Our Lady Queen of the Angels") which for years served as the sole Roman Catholic church in the Pueblo de Los Angeles.
