It was founded December 4, 1786, the feast day of Saint Barbara, as the tenth mission for the religious conversion of the indigenous local ChumashÃâ ‚ ¬Ã¢ €?Barbareà ƒÃ‚ ±o tribe of Native American people. The mission is the namesake of the city of Santa Barbara as well as Santa Barbara County. The Mission grounds occupy a rise between the Pacific Ocean and the Santa Ynez Mountains, and were consecrated by Father Fermà ƒÃ‚ ­n Lasuà ƒÃ‚n, who had taken over the presidency of the California mission chain upon the death of Father Presidente Junà ƒÃ‚ ­pero Serra.
