---

The Treaty of Cahuenga ended the fighting of the Mexican-American War in California.

The treaty was signed by Lieutenant-Colonel John C. Fremont and General Andrés Pico on January 13, 1847 on the kitchen table of Tomás Feliz's six-room adobe house at Campo de Cahuenga in what is now North Hollywood, Los Angeles, California. The treaty allowed the Californios who fought under the Mexican Flag to return home after giving up their artillery, and provided that all prisoners from both sides be immediately freed. Under the later Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo (1848), Mexico formally ceded Alta California and other territories to the United States and the disputed border of Texas was fixed at the Rio Grande / Río Bravo del Norte.
