Online Highways Home > California > Solvang City Map with Features Mission Santa Ines The Mission was founded on September 17, 1804 by Father Estevan Tapis, and was named in honor of Saint Agnes, an early Christian martyr of the fourth century. The Spanish for Agnes is Ins, hence the name of the church; the American Yankees anglicized the spelling of the Spanish pronunciation and named the town Santa Ynez. The mission reached the peak of its prosperity around 1820, when it owned 12,000 head of stock. The Mission, which commands a superb view of the Santa Ynez River Valley and the Santa Ynez and San Rafael mountain ranges, continues its central role in the spiritual and social life of the Santa Ynez Valley as an active parish church of approximately 1,000 families. At present, the mission contains a museum that displays vestments, church records, and religious texts. Read reviews and find hotels in Solvang.
