California's Spanish- Mexican Roots
A talk about the Californios

Ticketed Event
Join historian Damian Bacich as he shares the story of the Californios: the individuals and families that formed California's unique culture, from early Spanish explorations to the era of the ranchos and beyond.
The first families that settled Alta California in the 18th century came with a thirst to start a new and better life for themselves and their children. In time, soldiers, settlers, and their descendants developed a unique connection to the land of Alta California, and a culture defined by hospitality, family, and self-reliance. They came to call themselves Californios, or hijos del país (sons of the land).
