Prior to European colonization, California was among the most culturally and linguistically diverse areas in pre-Columbian North America and included the greatest Native American population density north of what is now Mexico. European exploration in the 16th and 17th centuries resulted in the colonization of California by the Spanish Empire. In 1804, it was consisted of in Alta California province within the Viceroyalty of New Spain. The location ended up being a part of Mexico in 1821, following its effective war for independence, but was delivered to the United States in 1848 after the Mexican– American War. The California Gold Rush started in 1848 and resulted in dramatic social and market changes, including large-scale immigration into California, an around the world economic boom, and the California genocide of indigenous peoples. The western portion of Alta California was then arranged and admitted as the 31st state on September 9, 1850, following the Compromise of 1850.

The San Francisco Bay Area and the Greater Los Angeles Area are extensively seen as the centers of the worldwide innovation and film markets, respectively. California’s ports and harbors manage about a third of all U.S. imports, most originating in Pacific Rim global trade.
