From this project, I gained a better understanding of the history and the human geography of the city San Jose. Besides, this project enriched my knowledge of San Jose. For example,

In 1846, Mexico had attacked the U.S. Troops in Texas, which allowed Americans to gain control of California. Upon gaining that control, Archbishop Joseph Sadoc Alemany filed a claim to return all former mission lands on behalf of the Roman Catolic Church.

After, all the land that contained the mission buildings, cemeteries, and gardens were transferred back to the Catholic Church through patents and proclamations signed by the U.S. Presidents between 1855 and 1874.

Soon after, San Jose Mission was turned into a hotel for people in the Gold Rush. It was also used as a general store, saloon, and hotel during that time. In 1853, the mission became the local parish church.

The steel beams that will support Mission San Gabriel's new roof arrived this month. (Terri Huerta)

The task of rebuilding Mission San Gabriel just took an important step forward this Easter: workers have begun the process of replacing the mission church's roof, which was heavily damaged by a devastating fire in July 2020.

Crews began removing the last parts of the damaged roof and replacing it with a new one on Easter Monday, April 5. The entire process, which includes installing new steel beams and trusses, waterproofing the mission's adobe walls, and making sure they have not been compromised, is expected to be completed sometime in late July or August.

"There are a lot of intricacies in putting a roof back on a 200 year old building," said Terri Huerta, Director of Development & Communications for the mission.

That roof will cover the historic church in time for the special Mass marking its 250th jubilee anniversary on September 11, 2021, to be celebrated by Archbishop José H. Gomez.

Restorations to the interior of the church will have to wait a bit longer, Huerta said. Plans are still being revised before they are submitted to the City of San Gabriel's planning department and Historic Preservation and Cultural Resource commission for approval.

It all means that what the jubilee Mass will look like is unclear: it could be celebrated outdoors, or inside the damaged mission church with portable chairs, Huerta said.

Meanwhile, the mission continues to raise money towards its Fire Restoration Fund .

"We have received a lot of donations so far, and we are immensely grateful, since most of that money is going towards restorations that aren't covered by insurance, like the electrical and AV systems," Huerta said. "We are immensely grateful, but we continue to need help."

Natural Disasters: A Santa Barbara Timeline

Saber es poder.
Knowledge is power.

This timeline of natural disasters in and around Santa Barbara County dates back more than 100 years to cover wildfires, floods, debris flows, winter storms, and two major earthquakes. As an educational tool, it is recorded history of common threats across our region. As we prepare for the future, we can learn from the lessons of the past. The information and images contained in this timeline can help us gain a greater perspective on the hazards we face here in Santa Barbara County. Without this knowledge, it's impossible to properly prepare for the next natural disaster.

While this timeline covers significant recorded disasters, there are likely other events not included that you may have experienced personally or know about. Please do not hesitate to contact us with more information. We view this timeline as an evolving record and a good place to start a discussion about the history of natural disasters in our area. Where this conversation goes is up to all of us.

This tool is simple to use. Simply scroll along the timeline top to bottom. To jump to a specific date, scroll and click on the timeline bar on the right side of the page. Click on images to expand. Click outside an expanded image or tap "esc" to return to timeline.

This project was principally researched and written by Bucket Brigade intern James Kendrick, and designed by webmaster Andrew Hill. In particular, we would like to thank the Montecito Association History Committee for help and access to its archive, where we found many of the historic photos that appear in this timeline.

A major earthquake struck on December 21, 1812, causing severe damage to the Santa Barbara Mission buildings and the Presidio compound. The same earthquake also destroyed Mission La Purisima, near what is now the city of Lompoc.

On September 17, 1913, 108-degree daytime heat paired with dry weather created ideal conditions for wildfire, fueling a small grass fire in Sycamore Canyon to grow quickly out of control. While the intense heat of the day made firefighting difficult, the Forest Service managed to quickly contain the blaze with the help of a handful of local volunteers. Unfortunately, the fire did claim the life of Dr. Charles Anderson as he battled the fire at his Mountain Drive home. Firefighters were able to gain the upperhand on the blaze by the end of the day.

The 1/9 Debris Flow was triggered by a rare meteorological event following a high-intensity wildfire. The meteorological event, known as a Narrow Cold Frontal Rainband (NCFR), occurred when a narrow band of intense convection and rainfall built up along a cold front at around 1 a.m. on January 8, 2018. Moving east off the Pacific, the NCFR made initial landfall at Point Conception. As the storm progressed over land, the NCFR began to weaken and break apart, delivering heavy rains of over a dispersed area. However, as the mass of rain moved further eastward, it began to rapidly recondense, forming an atmospheric river directly over Santa Barbara and Montecito, dumping .66 inches of rain in 5 minutes.

Less than a month prior, the monstrous Thomas Fire had ravaged the mountains above Montecito, Summerland, and Carpentaria. The fire's extremely high heat scorched the soil and caused the buildup of water-repellent ash that dramatically increased the rate of runoff carrying mud, burned trees, and large boulders down the mountain canyons.

A January 5 press conference focused on the substantial risk of high-intensity flooding. On January 7, mandatory and voluntary evacuations were issued for the Montecito foothills. The following day, law enforcement began door-to-door evacuation notifications. At approximately 3:30 a.m. on January 9, the brunt of the storm hit Montecito, Summerland, and Carpinteria, and causing millions of tons of water, rock, logs, and mud to come rushing down the mountain canyons.

Montecito was hit the hardest, its creeks becoming quickly overwhelmed and bridges clogged. The leading edges of several debris flows that rushed down a handful of major watersheds measured 30 feet deep in some areas. Entire neighborhoods were obliterated. About 100 homes were destroyed, and some 500 damaged. 23 residents died; two bodies, both children, remain unaccounted for. Many residents, some with traumatic injuries, were trapped on their roofs or within collapsed structures. Highway 101 at the Olive Mill Road overpass was flooded; both directions were shut down for two weeks.

Utilities were offline for several days, and major flooding and deposited mud and debris and downed power lines rendered many roads impassable. On January 11, Montecito was declared a Public Safety Evacuation Zone and remained off limits to the general public for two weeks as recovery crews worked to get services back online.

The 1/9 Debris Flow was the worst natural disaster in Santa Barbara County history.

On the windy Monday afternoon of November 25, the Cave Fire sparked to life in Los Padres National Forest near Painted Cave, close to the intersection of Highway 154 and East Camino Cielo. Pushed downslope by steady winds with gusts stronger than 50 mph, the fire quickly grew. Evacuation orders and warnings were sent out to thousands of nearby residents and a local emergency was declared. One outbuilding was burned on the first night. At its peak, the firefighting effort featured 600 personnel and ten air tankers. Within 24 hours, fortunately, the winds died down and temperatures cooled considerably. On the second night, a cold front brought rain to the region. The following night, before Thanksgiving, freezing temperatures visit the mountaintops, blanketing the burn scar with snow. The Cave Fire burned 3100 acres; its cause remains under investigation.

Enjoy the mission gardens and explore the area behind the campanario.

Allow at least two (2) hours to properly tour this mission. In addition to mission-era displays, you will find other striking religious art on the grounds.

The Bay of San Diego was first discovered by Juan Rodqriguez Cabrillo in 1542.

Cabrillo came ashore but did not do an extensive exploration.

The Spaniards and Natives observed one another, but there was no extensive communication.

The area was named San Diego by Sebastián Vizcaíno, an explorer who mapped the coast in 1602.

Spain did not settle the area until Russian encroachment and growing superpower interest in the region prompted them to do so in the late 18th century. The plan was to send two ships to rendezvous with two land-based expeditions at the Bay of San Diego in the late Spring 1769 with a supply ship to arrive somewhat later.

First land expedition arrived later than planned. It took one of the ships (San Carlos) 54 days to reach San Diego Bay, and it arrived with most of its crew dead, dying or otherwise incapacitated. The Spanish did erect a cross and claim the territory for Spain.

It was difficult for the padres to establish relations with the natives.

The mission was founded on July 16, 1769 on Presidio Hill. A primitive compound that consisted of little more than brush covered enramadas and several grass huts was erected.

Prominent Missionary Leaders

Founding Father President - Junípero Serra - First Founding Father President and founder of the California missions.

Prominent Missionary Leader - Fr. Fermin Francisco de Lasuén served at this mission for eight years (from 1777-1785).

Indians Joining Mission

The prominent Indian tribes in the area were the Tipai-Ipai. The native term most frequently used for the San Diego natives is Kumeyaay, one of the principal dialects.

The Spanish called the neophytes at Mission San Diego Diegueño.

The Kumeyaay resisted the Spanish occupation and settlement, and conversion was quite slow.

The records which have survived show only 16 baptisms in 1771.

Unlike other missions, the neophytes at San Diego continued to reside in traditional villages in part due to food shortages at the mission.

Limited and uneven water supply hampered growth and viability of the mission.

A dam was finally constructed (1809-1815) six miles upstream from the mission, on the San Diego River. Water was brought to the foot of Mission Hill via an aqueduct or zanja and then by way of a noria or waterwheel into the mission.

In 1773 (the first year for which we have records) the mission had 40 cattle, 74 sheep, 55 goats, 10 pigs, 29 horses and 28 mules, a total of 236 animals.

In 1822 the mission had over 30,000 animals, including 9,245 cattle and 19,000 sheep.

The mission was destroyed in an Indian attack in November, 1775. One of the missionaries, Fr. Luis Jaime, and two others were killed, including Urselino the mission carpenter and the blacksmith Jose Romero.

In 1818 a sub-mission, the Asistencia of Santa Ysabel, was established about 60 miles northeast of San Diego.

The buildings slowly deteriorated after secularization in 1834. By the time the mission was restored in 1931, only the church façade and arcade remained standing.

The mission was used by the U.S. Army after the Mexican American War from 1853-1858.

Unique Attractions

There are many attractions in front of the mission to view when you arrive or before you leave:

The "Moorish" Fountain was built in 1808 and is the most attractive historic fountain in the mission chain.

The reconstructed lavandería (laundry) is just beyond the Moorish fountain. Look for the mountain lion's head, built by the Chumash, located at the end of the lavandería.

There is a large memorial cross on the front lawn. This is a great spot from which to photograph the church.

Visit the church, either as part of the regular tour, or if you have time, after church services.

This neoclassical church, with twin towers and a magnificent setting, was completed in 1820 with one tower. The second tower was added in 1831.

The church is filled with original and noteworthy art. A statue of the church's Patron, Saint Bárbara, is located above the altar.

The two largest religious paintings in all of the missions are at Santa Bárbara. One painting, 168 inches high by 103 inches wide, depicts the "Assumption and Coronation of the Virgin". It is thought to have originated in the Mexico City studio of Miguel Mateo Maldonado y Cabrera.

Other Historic Attractions

The Santa Bárbara Presidio is located at 123 East Canon Perdido Street. This State Historic Park is only one of the four mission-era presidios which has been restored.

The Santa Bárbara Historical Museum is located at 136 East de La Guerra Street in downtown Santa Bárbara. There is always relevant art on display.

The Santa Bárbara Museum of Natural History is located at 2559 Puesta Del Sol and is about ten (10) minutes from the mission. This museum is particularly useful for its Native American collections. Look for the display of a Chumash Village.

Tips for Visitors

Allow enough time. You can easily spend a half day at Mission Santa Bárbara. The regular tour is a must. Based on the time you have available and your interests, sign up for any special tours so you can plan your day.

As you exit the mission complex by car, just across the road is the Memorial Rose Garden, at Los Olivos and Laguna Streets (the garden's correct full name is the A.C. Postel Memorial Rose Garden). This extensive, well-tended garden has over 1,500 rose plants and is well-worth visiting for the quality and variety of the plantings. Equally important, the view of the Santa Bárbara mission from the garden is special, particularly early in the morning when the light is optimum.

Prominent Missionary Leaders

Founding Father President - Fr. Fermin Francisco de Lasuèn

Founding Missionaries - Fr. Antonío Paterna and Fr. Cristóbal Oramas

Prominent Missionary Leaders - Fr. Narciso Durán, who was elected Father President of the missions in 1825 and again in 1830, made Santa Bárbara the chain's headquarters from 1833 to 1846.

Indians Joining Mission

Santa Bárbara was the third mission established in the land of the Chumash people at the native site of Xana'yan. The neophytes were referred to as Barbareño (after the mission) and Canaleños.

Chumash Village

Mission Layout

Santa Bárbara was laid out in the traditional quadrangle, with separate granaries, a weavery with patio, tannery, and neophyte housing forming additional courtyard-oriented squares.

Many of the existing buildings at the rear of the mission complex, however, were created to meet the needs of the seminary established in the 20th century. Most of the new construction follows the foundations of the old quadrangle.

Water Source

Water was channeled from a dam constructed in Pedregoso Creek high above the mission. A two-mile long stone aqueduct carried water to a storage reservoir, feeder reservoir, and settling tank constructed in 1806 and attributed to Indian mason Miguel Blanco of Baja California. A second aqueduct carried drinking water to the mission, its fountains, and lavandería or washing facilities.

Livestock

Santa Bárbara had a sizable livestock herd that exceeded 10,000 head in the years 1802-1823. In the peak year of 1821, the mission had 13,732 animals including 3,500 cattle and 9,000 sheep.

Mission Santa Bárbara Cattle Brand

Mission Church

The church was completed in 1820 with one tower. The second tower was added in 1831, collapsed within two years, and was rebuilt in 1833.

The Neoclassic façade was inspired by a mission archives copy of the Spanish edition of The Six Books of Architecture by Marcus Vitruvius Pollio, a Roman architect of first (1st) century B.C.

Santa Bárbara Mission Church and Fountain

Mission Art and Artifacts

The mission church is filled with original and noteworthy paintings and statues.

The two largest religious paintings in all of the missions are found in Santa Bárbara.

Significant Events

Neophytes revolted at Santa Inés, Santa Bárbara, and La Purisima in 1824. The event underscored how relations with the largely Chumash neophytes deteriorated after the Mexican takeover of California in 1821.

Soldiers Advancing to Mission Santa Bárbara 1824

Interesting Facts

Under Fr. Narciso Durán the mission became the major record depository for the mission chain, a role that continues to this day.

Francisco García Diego y Moreno, the first Catholic Bishop of California, resided at this mission from 1842 to 1846.

Santa Bárbara is the only mission continuously operated by the Franciscans since its founding.

An Apostolic College or missionary center for California functioned at the mission from 1856 to 1885, a Junior Franciscan Seminary from 1886 to 1901, and St. Anthony's Seminary from 1900 to 1987.

Juana María, the Lone Woman of San Nicholas Island portrayed in Scott O'Dell's Island of the Blue Dolphins was buried in the mission cemetery in 1853.
