does anyone know what does it say on the California State Flag? What is the significance and symbolism of the words?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The California flag says "California Republic." Before California was a state, it was a territory of and was controlled by Mexico. During the Mexican-American War, it declared it's independence from Mexico, becoming the California Republic, or the Bear Flag Republic. Later, California was annexed by the US and eventually gained statehood. The significance of it all is California's history. From being a colony, to a free republic (though never recognized), to one of our states.
