Gaspar de Portola was the first Governor of Upper
and Lower California, from 1767 to 1771, under Span-
ish regime. In 1769 he visited California and made his
residence here until 1771-the expiration of his term.
On July 14, 1769, he left San Diego with a small
force in search of Monterey, but failed to find it.
While continuing the search he explored the peninsula
on which San Francisco is now built, and looked upon
the Bay of San Francisco within the Golden Gate,
being, according to best authorities, the first white man
who ever gazed upon these waters.
Father Junipero Serra was President of the Mis-
sions of California during this time, establishing the
Mission Dolores October 9th, 1776.
Commander-in-chief of land expeditions, visited the
Missions at San Diego, Monterey and San Buenave ntura
