Calif. was the popular abbreviation for California from the time it became a territory until 1963, when the US Postal Service introduced standardized two-letter state abbreviations. Starting in 1963, CA is the official abbreviation of California. Two-letter state abbreviations were introduced to make room from Zip Codes, which were also introduced in that year.
