The Treaty of San Gabriel, signed in San Gabriel, a suburb of Los Angeles, by representatives of Antonio López de Santa Anna of Mexico and representatives of the California Republic on 18 December, 1836, ended the Bear Flag Revolt. The purpose of the treaty was to finalize the Mexican recognition of the sovereignty of the California Republic after the end of the Texan Revolution threatened to draw the United States into the war. Provisions regarding borders, prisoners of war, and fishing rights in the Pacific Ocean were also included in the treaty.
