HISTORY OF CALIFORNIA

The Russians arrive in California in the middle of the XVIII — early XIX centuries.
In 1734-1743 Vitus Bering creates trading bases along the North-West coast of America.

In 1808-1809 and 1811 Kuskov’s (1765-1823) expeditions choose the territory for the Fort Ross settlement. This settlement was active between 1812-1841.
This place was called “Russian America”.

Fort Ross

1812 - 1841

This Russian colony on the coast of Northern California was founded in 1812 by the “Russian-American Company” for fur trade.

The Spanish and the Mexicans wanted Russia to leave the territory of California. It was unsuccessful. The Mexicans and the Spanish were not aggressive.
Mexico was going to officially recognize Fort Ross as Russian colony. But in return Russia should recognize Mexico as a country. Nicholas I said “No!”.

The Indians gave their territory to Russia, in return Russia gave the Indians gifts, and the chief was awarded with the “Allied Russia” medal.

The settlement was not profitable for the Russian-American company.
And in 1841 Fort Ross was sold to an American, John Sutter, the founder of the New Helvetia settlement.

1848 - New Helvetia -> Sacramento (the capital of CA)
