Heritage Parkscape: El Pueblo Felipe de Neve Statue
Posted: August 11th, 2009
In 1777, as the Spanish governor of the Californias, Felipe de Neve requested that Spain send him settlers for the new colony. Soon after, he organized los Pobladores, the expedition of eleven racially and ethnically diverse pioneer families, that founded El Pueblo on September 4, 1781. The statue in his honor stands in the center of the Plaza.
