Notes |
"Named For: Saint Agnes of Rome, a thirteen year-old Roman girl martyred in A.D. 304. An inland mission, Santa Inés was established near a rancheria, Alajulspu, in the Santa Inéz Valley and sits on its original site. It is on the eastern edge of the town of Solvang, founded in 1911 by a group of Danish educators. Note that the name of the valley and the town of Santa Inez is spelled with a 'z' while the mission is spelled with an 's.' The largest Indian uprising in the mission era began at Santa Inés in 1824, triggered by the excessive beating of a neophyte by a soldier. The mission served a buffer against a hostile Indian group, the Tulares, who occcupied the region to the northeast.
