The rich newspaper history of California spans from the Gold Rush era to the present, with early papers like The Sacramento Bee (founded in 1857) and the San Francisco Chronicle (1865) documenting the state’s rapid growth. These records are essential for tracing miners, railroad workers, and immigrants who shaped California. Genealogists can use these records to uncover family connections through obituaries, property records, and local stories.
