Felipe de Neve, founder of Los Angeles and 4th Governor of the Californias.
Los pobladores del pueblo de los Ángeles (English: The townspeople of Los Angeles) refers to the 44 original settlers and 4 soldiers from New Spain (Mexico) who founded the Pueblo de Nuestra Señora la Reina de los Ángeles in 1781, which is now the present-day city of Los Angeles, California.
When the Governor of Las Californias, Felipe de Neve, was assigned to establish secular settlements in what is now the state of California (after more than a decade of missionary work among the natives), he commissioned a complete set of maps and plans (the Reglamento para el gobierno de la Provincia de Californias[1] and the Instrucción) to be drawn up for the design and colonization of the new pueblo.[2] Finding the individuals to actually do the work of building and living in the city proved to be a more daunting task. Neve finally located the new and willing dwellers in Sonora and Sinaloa, Mexico. But gathering the pobladores was a little more difficult. The original party of the new townsfolk consisted of eleven families, that is 11 men, 11 women, and 22 children of various Spanish castas (castes).
The castas of the 22 adult pobladores, according to the 1781 census, were:
1 Criollo (Spaniard born in New Spain)
9 Indios (American Indians)
1 Mestizo (mixed Spanish and Indian)
8 Mulattos (mixed Spanish and black)
2 Negros (blacks of full African ancestry)
1 Peninsular (Spaniard born in Spain)
