  • Californio is a term used to identify a Californian of Hispanic—and in some rare cases, of Portuguese, Brazilian, or other non-Hispanic Latin American—descent, regardless of race, during the period that California was part of the Viceroyalty of New Spain and Mexico. The territory of California was annexed in 1848 by the United States following the Mexican-American War. Californios included the descendants of agricultural settlers and escort soldiers from Mexico. Most were of mixed backgrounds, usually Mestizo contrary to popular media representations in books and films in the United States, such as the "Zorro" franchise. Very few were actually of "pure" Spanish ancestry. Spanish, and later, Mexican officials encouraged people from the northern and western provinces of Mexico, as well as people from other parts of Latin America, most notably Peru and Chile, to settle in California, and welcomed them to become Mexican citizens. Much of Californio society lived in ranchos or agricultural settlements near the many missions, which were established in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. By the start of the nineteenth century there were twenty-one missions under the auspices of the Roman Catholic Church located along the royal highway, the Camino Real. The Californio rancho society produced the largest cowhide and tallow business in North America, trading with merchant ships from Boston, who would port in San Diego, San Juan Capistrano, San Pedro, San Buenaventura (Ventura), Monterey and Yerba Buena.
  • Les Californios étaient les habitants de l'Alta California parlant l'espagnol dont le mode de vie et la culture originale furent mis à mal par l'annexion en 1848 de ce territoire par les États-Unis d'Amérique après la Guerre américano-mexicaine et par la ruée vers l'or qui suivit.
  • Californio's waren Spaanssprekende bewoners van Opper-Californië, de huidige Amerikaans staat Californië, toen dat gebied Spaans en Mexicaans eigendom was. De meeste Californio's waren afstammelingen van Europese immigranten, maar er waren ook mestiezen en indianen die de Spaanse cultuur hadden overgenomen en zich hadden bekeerd tot het rooms-katholicisme. De Californio's concentreerden zich vooral rond Spaanse missieposten. Wellicht de bekendste Californio is Zorro. Hoewel hij niet echt heeft bestaan is hij wel grotendeels gebaseerd op de legendarische Californio Joaquin Murrieta. Andere bekende Californio's zijn: Juan Bautista de Anza Pío Pico Mariano Guadalupe Vallejo Tiburcio Vasquez Benjamin Wilson
