The earliest known California earthquake was documented in 1769 by the Spanish explorers and Catholic missionaries of the Portolá expedition as they traveled northward from San Diego along the Santa Ana River near the present site of Los Angeles. Ship captains and other explorers also documented earthquakes. As Spanish missions were constructed beginning in the late 18th century, earthquakes records were kept. After the missions were secularized in 1834, records were sparse until the California Gold Rush in the 1840s. From 1850–2004, there was about one potentially damaging event per year on average, though many of these did not cause serious consequences or loss of life.

  • I terremoti in California sono molto comuni poiché lo stato è localizzato al di sopra della faglia di Sant'Andrea, che attraversando la California segna il confine tra la placca tettonica del Pacifico e la placca nordamericana. Il complesso paesaggio della California è infatti attribuibile proprio alla rete di faglie che attraversano l'intero stato. Il primo terremoto ad essere registrato in California avvenne nel 1769 e fu avvertito durante la spedizione Portolá a 30 miglia a sud-est di Los Angeles. (it)
