Today America's most populous state and third largest by geographic area is 159 years young. California became the 31st American state on September 9, 1850. In celebration of California's birthday, the National Postal Museum has composed a mini-exhibit through our virtual museum Arago highlighting different objects and postage stamps with connections to California.
