Mission Santa Ynez (old Spanish spelling: Inés) was founded in 1804. In its heyday it exported 6000 bushels of wheat annually, plus other crops and cattle. The Mexican government confiscated its revenue stream in 1834, but it continued to function as a church on a limited scale. The buildings were restored starting in 1904.
