Historical Data	James H. Budd was born on May 18, 1851 in Janesville, Wisconsin and his family moved to California when he was a young boy. Budd later attended U.C. Berkeley and was admitted to the bar in 1874. He became involved in politicas and served a single term in the U.S. House of Representatives. After a bitter campaign, Budd became the 19th governor of California on January 11, 1895. He pushed legislation through the California State Legislature in 1895 to create the Bureau of Highways, an agency to construct and manage maintenance to the state's growing road network. The Bureau of Highways later evolved into the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans).
