California's admission to the Union in September 1850 was followed by the state's chartering of San Francisco and San Francisco County.
On September 9, 1850, California was admitted to the U.S. as a state. The State of California soon chartered San Francisco and San Francisco County, establishing the city as one of the original 18 counties. At that time the city and county were separate entities; the county seat was San Francisco, and the county's boundaries then extended over territory later assigned to San Mateo County.
