Zusammenfassung:The article analyzes the most significant factors regarding to the process by which the northern region of the peninsula of the Baja California became a state diring the period from 1931 —the year in which the Northern and Southern Territories of Baja California were established— and 1952 —when this transformation was consumated—. It also examines the historical background to the pro-State movement in the region throughout the second half of the nineteenth century and the first few decades of twentieth century. The article concludes that, while the federal government´s initiatives were important for the realization of this goal, those of the regional administration also played a notable role in the sense, as well as the will of the region´s own inhabitants to govern themselves.
