In 1773 it was divided into Alta California and Baja California , along a line close to the modern-day U.S.-Mexico border, with the lands to the north given to the Franciscan Order and those to the south to the Dominicans . Alta California and Baja California in turn became federally run territories of the federal government under the 1824 Constitution following Mexico's Independence from Spain. Alta California was later ceded to the United States under the 1848 Treaty Of Guadalupe Hidalgo . SEE ALSO |
