History - Baja California

Baja California has a rich history influenced by indigenous cultures, Spanish colonization, and American expansion. The region was originally inhabited by the Kumeyaay and other tribes before becoming part of New Spain in the 18th century.

In the 19th century, Baja California saw an influx of settlers and became a territory of Mexico. The region has since evolved, with Tijuana emerging as a cultural hub and a gateway between Mexico and the United States, reflecting a blend of traditions and modern influences.
