When the United States and Mexico fought in 1846, California was under free control of the Mexican government. California's population includes about 6,500 Californians (Spanish or Mexican), 700 foreigners (mainly Americans) and 150 thousand indigenous Americans, since its arrival in 1769 by the Spaniards The number decreased by half. The Californians lived in a vast pasture land permitted by the Mexican government. After two years of battle, America became a winner. On February 2, 1848, the treaty of Guadeloupe / Hidalgo was signed, the war was officially ended, and handed over California's governance to the United States. Neither side knows that John Sutter, a Swiss migrant of gold, was discovered near the Coloma of sawmill.

California became the 31st state of the United States after Mexico failed the Mexican - American war and the settler opposed Mexican rule during the Bear Flag Uprising (1846). California was sold to the United States in 1848, two years later it became its size (the third largest state in the US) and the 31st state for the population. Los Angeles and San Francisco became cities, and after California and Mexico dominated the California and Mexican wars, it became the state of the United States, which meant that the big town was merged. The population of Los Angeles is 1610 people, on April 4th, the population of San Francisco is 21,000 people, became a city on April 16th.
