History of the position
The present state of Baja California had its origin in
1888, when then President
Porfirio Díaz, decreed the division of the Federal Territory of Baja California into two districts, the north and the south. The capital and most of the population of the old territory had been in the south, closer to the area's maritime passage. The north was mostly isolated by the sea and by the desert. Toward end of the
19th century this began to change, with more and more development, and it became necessary to divide the territory into two districts.
The initial capital of the North District was the port of
Ensenada, and each one of the two districts remained governed by a political leader appointed by the territory, although officially they continued being territorial a single unit.
The constitution of
1917 maintained the existence of the Federal Territory divided into two districts, but changed the denomination of the Chief Executive into Governors, maintaining this division until
1931 when finally two independent Districts were formed from the Federal Territories.
Finally in
1952 the north territory became the State Free and Sovereign of Baja California.
