When and how did California become a state? - Correct Answer- September 9, 1850
In 1848, the United States and Mexico signed the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, ending a war.
At that time, California had 7,500 residents. The Mexican government was likely unaware of
what was held within the state or of the population growth it was about to see.
California became a state in a very different way than most states in the westward expansion
of the United States. To petition for statehood, it required 60,000 residents. Most states first
became territories and then, over time, built the population required for application for
statehood. In California, the discovery of gold, just nine days before Mexico signed the treaty,
began history's largest gold rush. Rumors of gold nuggets, the size of a man's fist, lying on
the ground quickly made their way east, leading to a massive influx of "forty-niners" looking
for a fortune. The area met the population requirement by 1849, and because of its need for
civil government, petitioned for statehood
