===Mexican era=== [[File:Ruins of San Juan Capistrano (1876).jpg|thumb|left|Ruins of the [[Mission San Juan Capistrano#The Great Stone Church|Great Stone Church]] at Mission San Juan Capistrano, 1876]] The Mexican [[Congress of the Union]] enacted the [[Mexican secularization act of 1833|secularization of the Californian missions]] in 1833. In the mission period, 4,317 natives had been baptized at the mission (1,689 adults and 2,628 children). In that same period, 3,158 of those baptized had died. Some of the native people who survived the mission period continued to live at the mission for a short period after the secularization act, while others settled in the surrounding areas.<ref name=":6">{{Cite book |url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/647873186 |title=Handbook of American Indians north of Mexico.

[[Santiago Argüello]], a member of a prominent family of [[Californios]], was appointed administrator of Mission San Juan Capistrano. During his tenure, the community was briefly renamed "San Juan de Argüello", similar to what happened to [[San Juan Bautista, California|San Juan Bautista]] in [[Northern California]], which was briefly renamed "San Juan de Castro" after its administrator [[José Castro]]. In 1844, Don [[Juan Forster]] and James McKinley purchased the former Mission San Juan Capistrano at public auction. Forster made his home there until 1864, when the mission was returned to the Catholic Church by President [[Abraham Lincoln]].
