The explorers for California were Spanish-missionaries, fur trappers, Mexican settlers/ land grants, John Sutter, John C. , gold miners.
The Native Americans were in California when the explorers came to California and claimed the land
No, but much of the area north of San Francisco was originally a Russian colony (that is why the Russian river has that name and there are still Russian Orthodox churches in northern California).
The Spanish explorers first reached California in 1542, led by Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo. They landed in what is now San Diego.
1835
Spanish explorers gave California its name. The name California comes from a mythical island in a 1510 Spanish book.
It is the Russian River. :)
