Mission San José, located in present-day Fremont, California, housed a varying number of neophytes throughout its history, with populations typically ranging from 400 to 600 individuals at its peak in the early 1800s. The mission was established in 1797 and served as a center for converting and integrating local Native American populations into the mission system. By the mid-1800s, the number of neophytes began to decline due to various factors, including disease and changes in colonial policies.
