At our last Dinner Meeting:
“250th Anniversary of the Anza Expedition”
The de Anza expedition arriving at the mouth of the San Francisco Bay in 1776
In recognition of its 250th anniversary, local author and historian Beverly Lane presented her research of the Anza expedition, one of the most consequential expeditions in the history of Northern California. In 1776 Spanish Lt. Colonel Juan Bautista de Anza led the arduous 1,800-mile journey establishing the first reliable overland route from northern Mexico to present-day California. Unlike earlier expeditions, this endeavor was comprised of over 240 men, women, children -families, livestock and supplies- with the explicit goal of permanent settlement. These were the first colonists to enter present-day California by land, and the establishment of the Presidio of San Francisco marked the northern reaches of the Spanish presence in the Americas.
Our Next Dinner Meeting will be Thursday March 19th
Details coming soon!
