The Mission San Buenaventura and Mission Compound Site is a district on the National Register of Historic Places in Ventura, California. The former Spanish mission complex includes the existing mission buildings, fragments of an aqueduct water system, and the foundations of numerous mission-period outbuildings. Besides the modern day mission site, the district includes private and public properties within the urban downtown area. The City of Ventura has locally designated this area the Mission Historic District. Mission San Buenaventura was the ninth Spanish mission established in Alta California (Or Nueva California) and the last to be established by the head of the Franciscan missions in California, Junípero Serra.[2]
Founded in 1782 in colonial Las Californias by Spanish Catholic missionaries of the Order of Friars Minor. in the Alta California province of the Viceroyalty of New Spain.
In 1834 Mexico, in response to demands that the Catholic Church give up much of the Mission property, started the process of secularizing the Franciscan run missions. On August 9, 1834 Governor Figueroa issued his "Decree of Confiscation."[3] San Buenaventura was among the last to succumb in June 1836.[4]
