San Francisco de Conchos was founded by Fray Alonso de la Oliva, a young missionary who wanted to preach to indigenous communities. In 1604, he founded the Mission San Francisco de los Naturales del Rio de las Conchas, a Franciscan mission. The name "Conchos" comes from the many small shells that were found in the river bed.
The mission remained at that place until 1753, when it was relocated to its current place on the western side of the Río San Pedro, to improve defensibility from native attacks. The grounds where the new settlement was founded were donated by Sergeant Major Juan Antonio Trasviña y Retes and Nueva Vizcaya governor Manuel de San Juan y Santa Cruz.
