People who came from Spain or Mexico to settle in California were primarily motivated by opportunities for land and resources, as well as the expansion of agriculture and trade. Spanish explorers, missionaries, and settlers established missions and presidios in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, laying the foundation for future development. Following the Mexican War of Independence in 1821, California became a Mexican territory, attracting more settlers, including ranchers and farmers. This blend of Spanish and Mexican influence significantly shaped California's culture, architecture, and agricultural practices.
