The original Mission Viejo land grant in California dates to the Spanish colonial era\, and the nearby mission at San Juan Capistrano was founded in 1776. Modern Mission Viejo\, California\, was developed in the 1960s and was considered ahead of its time. The Aurora project\, initiated in 1972\, replicated many of the California features\, including Spanish-style architecture and the mission bell. The community emphasized community building\, with initiatives like the Nadadores swim team and the Heritage House. The Aurora project also included extensive green spaces and integrated commercial and residential areas.
