Within a few decades, neighborhoods near La Mision Vieja came to include La Mision, Canta Ranas, and El Rancho de Don Daniel. The barrio became one of several communities established in the Narrows, housing laborers tending to the region's robust plain of crops that were regularly enriched by river sediment. Adobe homes of a Mexican village known as La Mision Vieja arose on mission land in the lush floodplain between the San Gabriel and Rio Hondo Rivers.
The origin of Marrano Beach can be traced to the early barrios, or neighborhoods, that arose around the original San Gabriel Mission in the late 1700s. It was miles from the sea, but its history as an inclusive recreational destination popular with local Mexican Americans communities throughout the twentieth century endowed it with a tenacious cultural heritage unlike any other beach in Los Angeles. Marrano Beach was actually deep in the San Gabriel Valley, unfolded on a swath of marsh land wedged in the Whittier Narrows along the Rio Hondo River. The query has been printed on jackets, t-shirts, and even clocks since the late twentieth century. Youth posing on the shore of the Rio Hondo River | Photo: La Historia Historical Society Museum
