The missions of California were established by the Franciscans, who were given exclusive control of Lower California in 1767, when the Jesuits were expelled. Later the Dominicans supplanted the Franciscans in the peninsula, when the latter withdrew to Upper California, where they built missions and prospered until Mexico became independent of Spain in 1822. This change in governmental control was fatal to the Franciscans and their religious institutions, and they lost ground from year to year, until 1840, when they were obliged to disband and the missions were broken up. These establishments are still regarded with great interest as monuments of the devotion and zeal of their founders in the spread of their religion. Mortgages, Debts and Caxes=-1902.
