The Bear Flag Republic was established in 1848 when John C Fremont and his men took the Mexican governor to Sutter's Fort in Sacramento and held him. Then, because of the gold rush, the population of the state surged and CA went from a republic to a state in 2 years. On Sept. 9, 1850 it became a state.
