About 1920 a Spanish love story was published in which there was an imaginary island In the Far East called California. some fifteen years later a party or Spanish adventurers came upon the penlnsula which we now call Lower California. Believing that they had discovered a romantic island similar to the one in the novel, they called 1t California. Later on, the territory to the north became known as Alta California or High California and when 1t became a state, II was accordingly called Cali fornia. The first settlers were the Franciscan monks who came up from Mexico and established missions, and many are the leg ends woven around these pioneer Padres. There shortly grew ID Mexican settlements around the missions which the wonderful climate and fertile soil pros pered.
 The government. while under Mexican control, was more or less independent, and at the out hreak of the Mexican war. Frs- mont who was later defeated for the prssidsncy. occupied Cal lforuia. When peace was made in l84S, California became Uni ted States territory. That same year gold was discovered in the Sacramento Valley and the rush of people to California began The popula ton grew so rapidly that tn 1850 California was ad- mItted as the thirty-first state of the Union.
