In 1821, California became part of Mexico following Mexico's independence from Spain. Prior to this, California had been a Spanish territory. The change marked a significant shift in governance and cultural influence in the region. This was part of a broader transformation as Mexico sought to establish control over its new territories.

What year did alta California become part of Mexico?

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.
