Mission San Fernando Rey de España was founded in 1797 by Fray Fermín Francisco de Lasuén. The people of the mission produced many things, such as candles, soap, and wine. The Chumash and Tongva Indians who lived at the mission were very skilled at making leather goods. They made shoes, clothes, and saddles. All of these products could be sold to people living in the nearby pueblo of Los Angeles.
