Exactly when the first people arrived in what we now know as California, no one really knows.
However, it is likely that Native Americans were living in California at least fifteen thousand years ago.
That is why today over 40% of Californians speak Spanish as a first or second
language.
Although Chinese immigrants began to arrive during the Gold Rush Period, it was the building of the rail network from the west to the east coast that brought even larger numbers to California in the 1860s.
In more recent decades, California has become home to more people from Asia, including Koreans, Cambodians, Vietnamese and Laotians.
