A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY NEVER HURTS


New Spain's province of California was divided into Alta California and Baja California on May 19, 1773 near San Juan Bautista Creek by Fray Francisco Palóu. A marker is erected in the place where the dividing committee began the measurements for the province's partition. The marker is behind the Misión San Miguel Arcángel de la Frontera, near Ensenada, Baja California.

Translated into English, the inscription on the marker reads:
San Juan Bautista Creek (Crespi, May 1769) This was the starting point for the setting of the first international division line between Old or Lower California (Dominicans) and New or Upper California (Franciscans) five leagues to the north (Valley of the Medanos) being established by: Priest Francisco Palou on 19 August 1773 (Mojonera of Palou) in compliance with the instructions put forth on the April 7 1772 Concordato.

Territory of Baja California:
A former Spanish/Mexican territory from 1804 until 1931 which comprised the whole peninsula of Baja California.

1821: Mexico gains independence from Spain. Spain's Alta California and Baja California become Mexican.

1850: Alta California becomes the state of California, USA (as a result of the 1848 Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo)

1930: Baja California, MX is further divided into Northern and Southern territories.

1952: The North Territory of Baja California becomes the 29th state of Mexico, Baja California. The southern portion, below 28°N, remains a federally administered territory.

1974: The South Territory of Baja California becomes the 31st state, Baja California Sur. (This because of the completion of the highway in 1973.)

Geographically, historically, and factually speaking, there is no such place as "the Baja."

Accuracy vs. sloppy slang— YOUR CHOICE.

'The Baja' ... it's more than a place... it's an attitude, a feeling, an emotion... like love!:saint::tumble:

Elinvest18, I like it! Gracias again.

I'll copy your lyrics photo and send it to my friend, Joe. He'll get quite a kick out of it.

Roger- I recognize Joe on your couch. He's quite the musician, I have been to several of his jazz concerts in SD. Very entertaining. Can he say THE Baja in Czech?

Vince, I have some great photos taken about 4 years ago in the Gaslight district, SD. Joe and some other jazz player buds. Great music and fine company.

All I can recall from Joe talking about Baja that night was his usual comment about Baja life...teorie zamstnaneckého ehuštní!! or something like that. Pretty sure he would not call it THE Baja, though. Also a good hand at chess, his moves are wonders to behold. He has quite a history behind him.

The reference was to the man-eater. A clever play on words that went south. Ouch!

The Polls Have Closed


Well, this was indead a lively discussion ... The results of the poll are :

I like it / I love it 32 votes

I hate it 44 votes

Neutral 12 votes

Not a definitive result ....

But, a common thread came through, and that was the love and passion for Baja California whatever you choose to call it.

Thanks for particapating, And I want you to know because of the incredable response with over thirty nine hundred views and over one hundred ten posts ..... I won first prize this week and Doug and Hose A, in a private ceremony this afternoon, presented me with a brand new toaster oven !!

Thanks guys,

CaboRon
