California
History
Although California was sighted by Spanish navigator Juan Rodríguez
Cabrillo in 1542, its first Spanish mission (at San Diego) was not
established until 1769. California became a U.S. territory in 1847 when
Mexico surrendered it to John C. Frémont. On Jan. 24, 1848, James W.
Marshall discovered gold at Sutter's Mill, starting the California Gold
Rush and bringing settlers to the state in large numbers. By 1964,
California had surpassed New York to become the most populous state. One
reason for this may be that more immigrants settle in California than
any other state—more than one-third of the nation's total in 1994.
Asians and Pacific Islanders led the influx.
