Guachama Rancheria, renamed
San Bernardino on May 20, 1810 by Francisco Dumetz, became
the San Bernardino Rancho of the Mission San Gabriel in
1819. The adobe administration building stood 70 yards
north of this spot, an enramada served as the chapel,
and a zanja was constructed to bring water from the mountains
for irrigation. Control by mission fathers ended in 1834.
