DAILY ALTA CALIFORNIA, San Francisco, Oct. 8, 1851 The very first title in the Golden State was the "Californian" begun in 1846, followed the next year by the "California Star". These two titles merged and in 1849 the combined enterprise was called the "Alta California", becoming a daily in July. This is a volume 2 issue. It also became the first successful newspaper in California, lasting until 1891.
