The California Flag was hung at Sonoma on June 14th, 1846 to show some citizens dislike of Mexican rule. The star is like the lone star on the Texas Flag and was actually done that way to imitate it. The bear on the California Flag shows strength. The original California Flag was drawn on a piece of unbleached cotton.
The flag of California was officially adopted in 1911 but had first been hoisted in 1846 as an act of rebellion against Mexico, which still ruled California at the time. The grizzly bear, at one point ubiquitous to California, but now extinct in the state, was intended to intimidate Mexican authorities. The red star is said to imitate the “lone star of Texas.” Some in California would like to see a new flag adopted, one that is more current and less associated with a long-ago rebellion by what an editorial in the Los Angeles Times calls a band of “thieves, drunks, and murderers.” Sadly California has no more grizzly bears,
