One of the original 27 counties established in California in 1849 with the California Constitution's adoption, which was signed merely months prior to California's admission into the United States in 1850 as the thirty-first state. California's mineral and agricultural resources created a flourishing economy. San Francisco had already experienced an economic boom spurred on by numerous mineral discoveries during the middle of the nineteenth century and its large port, the busiest on the West Coast. Schmidt Lithography was based in San Francisco and was the largest map producers and publishers in California during the nineteenth century and even constructed the Schmidt Lithography Co.
