Mission San Luis Obispo de Tolosa Image

 

SLO History

San Luis Obispo began as a settlement around the fifth mission that the Franciscans established in Spanish Alta California between 1769 and 1823. The mission is named after Saint Louis, Bishop of Toulouse. El Camino Real (The Royal Road) is the path that connected twenty-one missions, four presidios, and two pueblos from San Diego to Sonoma. San Luis Obispo County was created in 1850 as one of California's twenty-seven original counties.
