If you mean during the colonial period of the United States, no. CA wasn't even thought about in the 1700's. For a short time, just before the gold rush, Monterrey was the Mexican capital of CA. When the American troops decided to take CA a man by the name of John C. Fremont' went to Monterrey and took the Mexican governor hostage. He had made arrangements with John Sutter to bring him to his fort in Sacramento and on doing that Fremont' raised the flag of the Bear Flag Republic over CA for the first time. Soon after the gold rush happened and on Sept 9, 1850 CA became a state.
