Loreto is considered the oldest human settlement on the Peninsula of Baja California. In 1697, the Jesuit priest/explorer - Juan Maria de Salvatierra founded Loreto with its sweet water oasis and arid climate. It was here that he built the first mission of Baja - Our Lady of Loreto. It was from this mission that Christianity was peacefully introduced to the Californians. Loreto was the capital of the California for more than 133 years until the capital was moved to La Paz. Loreto remains rich in history and full of undiscovered natural wonders.

The village is situated between two hills, in a valley provided with life by a stream that runs until it joins the estuary which flows to the sea; edged by huge palm trees, orchards and fences where bougainvillea of all colors tangle. This privileged place was discovered by the Jesuit father Juan María de Salvatierra. The origin of the name Mulegé drifts from the Cochimíes voices "Carmaañc galexá", that means "Large Ravine of the White Mouth".
