Though Spanish rule officially ended in 1821, the Spanish colonial period had a lasting impact on California thanks to the missions, pueblos, and ranchos that Spain established. Missions were religious outposts established by Spanish Catholic orders such as the Dominicans, Franciscans, and Jesuits. Smallpox was introduced to Native Americans in California when an infected Spanish sailor landed in the San Diego mission, as reported by Holmes in “The History of Riverside County, California.” Entire villages were depopulated by the disease; out of seven villages near the San Diego mission, only one remained.
