Rafael de Jesus Villavicencio was one of the first settlers in California. Rafael was a Soldier of the Guard and was part of the Alta California expedition in 1769 headed by Don Gaspar de Portola together with Blessed Junipero Serra who was in charge of the missionaries.
A successful missionary, he was appointed a member of the second Spanish land expedition to Alta California in 1769. When the party reached San Diego, Serra remained with a few followers to found Californiaâs first mission. The rest of the expedition continued on in search of Monterrey harbor, which had been previously used by Spanish sailors.
