In December 1968, a small group of descendants of Spanish Alta Californians formed Los Californianos in anticipation of the bicentennial year of the discovery of San Francisco Bay in 1769 by the expedition led by Don Gaspar de Portolá. Los Californianos was created for the purpose of preserving the heritage of the early Hispanic Californians in Alta California (also called Californios or Californianos) by conducting research on genealogy and civil, religious, military, social and cultural activities in Alta California in order to provide an accurate and authentic oral, written, and pictorial interpretation of the history of Spanish and Mexican Alta California.
