California was the 31st state to join the Union. True or false?
Answer:
True
Why this is the correct answer
California joined the Union as the 31st state on September 9, 1850, just two years after the discovery of gold at Sutter's Mill sparked the famous Gold Rush. Its rapid population growth made it ready for statehood far sooner than most territories.
