SEPT 9th 1850 CALIFORNIA INDUCTED INTO THE UNION

On the 9th of September the state of California was inducted into the union. The California state flag we know today is an adaptation of an earlier flag created by William Todd in June of 1846. Todd’s painting was mistaken by many native Californians as the word ‘Coc...he,’ a common term for pig, which was often uttered while viewing the flag. The flag also had a five-point star and the words “California Republic” on it. In 1911 California adopted its current state flag. This flag was based upon the original Bear Flag.
