The Bear Flag Revolt took place in 1846 in what is now Sonoma, California. American settlers in the area, frustrated with Mexican rule, declared independence from Mexico and raised the Bear Flag.

Anglo settlers captured Mexican soldiers and declared the Bear Flag Republic in 1846 in Sonoma, California. This rebellion was part of the larger context of the Mexican-American War.

The Bear Flag Republic was short-lived, as California soon became part of the United States following the war.
The CA flag is the "Bear" flag. It still flies everyday over the state. When CA became a state on Sept. 9th 1850 the US flag was added and both are used. The flag was designed and sewn by a little girl and commissioned by John C. Fremont. The story goes that when he captured the state from the Mexican government and took the governor captive he had the flag made to fly over Monterey The story states that the red stripe on the bottom first came from the petticoat of the girl who made it. By-the-way one reason why a bear was used on the flag is because in the early days of the state bears roamed the state and could be found in most regions. The Spanish use to capture them, dig a pit, and put a bear and bull together to watch the outcome. The bear population of the state is smaller and to see one you usually have to go into the high country. To shoot and hunt a bear takes a special hunting permit. To observe a bear is a real experience.
