When Did the Spanish Come to California and Why?

• 1542: Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo landed on “Alta” California (now known as

San Diego), claiming it for Spain.

• 1767: Rumor that Russian fur traders were working their way from the

Bering Sea, and was planning on settling in the lower part of California with

the British, spurred Spanish settlement.

Spain’s colonial frontier (21 founded by Junipero Serra).
