Politics of California before 1900 The short-lived declaration of an independent California Republic in 1846 was followed 25 days later by the onset of the Mexican-American War. After the resulting conquest of Alta California by United States military forces and American volunteers, California was administered by the U.S. military from 1846 to 1850. Local government continued to be run by "alcaldes" (mayors) in most places, as they had been under Mexican control; but now some were Americans.
