Best Answer

California was part of the land ceded to the United States by Mexico in 1848 after they lost the Mexican-American War. It became a U.S. state in September 1850. California is one of the very few added states that did not go through a territorial period before statehood. It was rushed to statehood due to the California Gold Rush.
