The Los Rios Historic District is an historic district and neighborhood in the city of San Juan Capistrano, California. [2] [3] [4] The nearby Mission San Juan Capistrano was the first of the 21 California Missions to have Native Americans, soldiers and workers live outside the mission grounds, [4] making it the oldest residential neighborhood in California. Three adobe structures remain in the Los Rios neighborhood itself, although there are a number of others close by which were part of what was once a larger neighborhood. [4]
Contents
The neighborhood originally had 40 adobe structures, but most were replaced in the 19th century by wooden board and batten structures. [5] Thirty-one of the buildings on Los Rios Street and the surrounding area are listed on the National Register of Historic Places as of 1983. [5] [1] [6]
