Mission La Purisima Concepción, or La Purisima Mission (originally La Misión de La Purísima Concepción de la Santísima Virgen María, or The Mission of the Immaculate Conception of the Most Blessed Virgin Mary) is established on December 8, 1787 (the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, hence the mission's name) by the Franciscan order.
The site is known to the Chumash people as Algsacpi and to the Spanish as the plain of Rio Santa Rosa, one mile south of Lompoc. (During the mission period, the Chumash will speak the Purisimeño language.)
The Viceroyalty of New Spain makes an exception to the rule that no California mission is to be established within seven miles of any pueblo in Las Californias, as Lompoc is so small.
