The first native inhabitants arrived 9,000 years ago, ancestors of the tribes who would greet the Spanish in the 1700s. Father Junípero Serra later established a chain of missions along the coast, expanding European and Mexican influence. But when gold was discovered in 1848, the rush was on, and two short years later California became a state. After the gold ran out, other rushes followed, from agriculture to industry, Hollywood to Silicon Valley. \u003ci\u003eCalifornia History for Kids\u003c\/i\u003e includes a time line of significant events, a list of historic sites to visit or explore online, and Web resources for further study.
