| Special note | Prior to 12 April 1849, the Baja California peninsula was a single territory of Mexico. On that date, the territory was divided into the districts of Baja California Norte and Baja California Sur. In 1917, the two districts were changed to territories; their names remained the same. On 16 January 1952, Baja California Norte became the state of Baja California. On 24 October 1974, Baja California Sur became a state; its name remained the same. |
