• What is now California was founded by several
Native American tribes before being explored by
a number of European expeditions throughout
the 16th and 17th centuries. Then it was claimed
by the Spanish Empire as part of Alta California
in greater territory of New Spain. Alta California
became a part of Mexico in 1821 , following its
successful war for independence , but would be
ceded to the United States in 1848, after the
Mexican-American War. The western part of Alta
California was organized as soon as the state of
California, which was admitted as a state on 31
September 9, 1850. The California Gold Rush
from 1848 led to dramatic social and
demographic change, with large scale
immigration from the U.S. and abroad and an
economic growth that accompanies it.
