California Becomes a State (1850)
-
The Mexican era only lasted until 1848. One bloody battle between the Americans and Californios (see Mission San Diego de Alcalá) was fought at San Pasqual (see San Pasqual Battlefield State Historic Park). With a payment of $15 million and the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, California became part of the US and then later its 31st state.
