The Native Americans' in the mission territory were from the Yokuts tribe. || ||
 * This was the thirteenth mission in California. || This mission has the nickname of "the lonely mission'' because, __Soledad__ means solitude and solitude means lonely. ||
 * The padres along with the Native Americans built and rebuilt the church times. The original church was about 68 feet long,25 feet wide,and 14 feet high. Over the years the mission got smaller because of harsh weather.But later there were 2 major floods that crashed the mission and nobody repaired it. || [[image:http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:rmfd6b4f-4E3EM%3Ahttp://www.californiamissionprints.com/Missionbell.jpg]] ||
