Mission San José was officially founded by Father Fermin Lasuen on June 11, 1797. The mission originally housed the new Franciscan priests. Over time, the mission came to house several Native American tribes: Bay Miwok, Coast Miwok, Lake Miwok, Patwin, Tamyen, Yokuts, and Costeno. During the Rancho Period (1834-1849) the Native people fled the mission lands. The mission buildings fell into decay and disrepair and the property was sold (some pioneer families of this land include the Livermore, Peralta, and Alviso families). The mission buildings were eventually turned into a saloon and a hotel and the town of Mission San José was founded (now a district of the city of Fremont, CA). At this point, the only residence of the mission was in the church itself: the priests quarters.
