Mexico
August 10, 1821
It was August 10, 1821, and it was the 24th state to become part of America.
California is one of the larger states and most populated in the USA. In km2 it equals 423,970. It has the 5th of the USA's largest area. It could be bigger, but in 1821 part of the lower half of the state became part of Mexico.
California
From 1821 when Mexico won its independence, until 1848 when it lost it to the United States after the Mexican-American War (1846-1848).
1821 i think
It was discovered in 1542 and was integrated into the territories of the Viceroyalty of the New Spain (as Mexico was formerly known when it was a colony of Spain). When Mexico won its war of independence against Spain in 1821, California also became part of Mexico on that date and continued to be a territory of Mexico until the Mexican-American War. At the end of such conflict in 1848, the Treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo ceded such territories to the US.So, you can say California belonged to the entity that eventually became Mexico for 306 years since its discovery until its cession, or you can say it belonged to the modern country of Mexico for only 27 years.
Eight states became part of the United States between August 10th 1821 & September 9th 1850. In chronological order they were... Missouri, Arkansas, Michigan, Florida, Texas, Iowa, Wisconsin, & California
No. It has been part of Mexico's territory since its independence in 1821. Also California was part of Mexico, but was lost to the United States at the end of the Mexican-American War (1846 - 1848).
