Lt. José Joaquín Moraga led the party that built the Spanish fort later in 1776, after the site had been chosen by Juan Bautista de Anza. Separately, a founders list records Francisco Palóu and Pedro Benito Cambón under June 27, 1776; that date is sourced only to the founders list and is not an arrival date for Moraga's colonists or a construction date for the presidio. The supplied passages do not state the departure point or exact arrival date of Moraga's colonists, so those details remain unconfirmed.
