Francisco Palóu (Catalan: Francesc Palou, Balearic Catalan pronunciation: [fɾənˈsəsk pəˈlɔw]; 1723–1789) was a Spanish Franciscan missionary, administrator, and historian on the Baja California Peninsula and in Alta California. Palóu made significant contributions to the Alta California and Baja California mission systems. Along with his mentor, Junípero Serra, Palóu worked to build numerous missions throughout Alta and Baja California, many structures of which still stand today. A member of the Franciscan Order, Palóu became "Presidente" of the missions in Baja California, and later of missions of Alta California. Palóu's work in the Spanish mission system spans from his early 20s to his death, at the age of 66. (From Wikipedia)
