History of California

California has a rich history dating back thousands of years. Native American tribes such as the Chumash, Maidu, and Pomo inhabited the land long before European explorers arrived. In 1769, Spanish explorer Gaspar de Portola led an expedition into California, establishing a settlement in what is now San Diego. The Spanish claimed California as a territory and built several missions throughout the state.
