The City of San
Juan Capistrano is a unique community grounded in a
history of native American culture, the Mission
established by Franciscan missionaries in 1776, and
an agrarian past. Officially incorporated as a city
in 1961, San Juan Capistrano recently celebrated 40
years of cityhood. A council-manager form of
government, with five elected council members
elected citywide, direct the city operations and
municipal services.
The City has grown from a small community of
approximately 10,000 persons in 1974 to a developed
city of 36,078 in 2005, with a variety of land uses
providing open space, recreation, housing, jobs,
shopping and services. The City prides itself on
effectively maintaining its open space character by
acquiring land to preserve its defining ridgelines,
hillsides, and trails. Nearly 40% of the City is in
open space and park land. Only about 10% of land
suitable for development still remains vacant.
