California was annexed by the United States, and became the 31st state on September 9th 1850. California is the most populous state of the United States. More than 12% of U.S. citizens live in California. If California were a country, it would have the 35th largest population in the world. California lies on the Pacific coast in the southwest corner of the USA. It is bounded by fellow states Oregon, Nevada and Arizona, plus an international border with Mexico to the south. California's diverse geography ranges from beaches to mountains to forests to deserts. In the center of the state lies the California Central Valley, surrounded by the coastal mountain ranges in the west, the Cascade Range in the north, the Tehachapi Mountains in the south, and the Sierra Nevada to the east. The Sierra Nevada is world famous for Yosemite Valley and Sequoia National Park. About 1/3 of the state's total surface area is covered by forests. California contains more forestland than any state except Alaska. California's diversity of pine species is unmatched by any other state. California is home to: • the largest living organisms on Earth (giant sequoia trees), • the tallest living things on Earth (ancient redwood trees), • the oldest known living things in the world (Bristlecone pines as old as 4700 years), • the lowest elevation point in North America (Badwater Flat: 282ft / 86m below sea level), • the highest peak in the contiguous 48 states (Mount Whitney: 14505ft / 4421m). Badwater Flat and Mount Whitney are less than 200 miles apart [322 km]. Deserts in southeast California make up about 1/4 of the state's total surface area. The south~central desert is called the Mojave. To the northeast of the Mojave lies Death Valley which contains Badwater Flat. With 58 counties, and an area of 160000 mi² (411000 km²), California is the 3rd largest state in the USA. WEATHER Plan your trip Local Radar Detailed Forecast Plan your trip Local Radar Detailed Forecast Plan your trip Local Radar Detailed Forecast California is known for its diverse climate, ranging from subarctic to Mediterranean. California is also home to the hottest place in the Western Hemisphere, Death Valley. Almost all of southeastern California is arid, hot desert, which can become very cold at night. The Sierra Nevada mountains reach arctic temperatures in the winter and there are several dozen small glaciers. California is famous for earthquakes due to a number of faults, in particular the San Andreas Fault. It is also vulnerable to tsunamis, wildfires, landslides, and several volcanoes. ECONOMY The California Chamber of Commerce is a not~for~profit, broad~based business advocate, working at the state and federal levels to influence government actions affecting all California business. The Chamber leverages front~line knowledge of laws and regulations to provide affordable and easy~to~use compliance products and services. California's economy is not only the largest in the United States, it is larger than all but 7 nations in the world. The California Gold Rush, beginning in 1848, dramatically and permanently changed California with a large population and economic boom. The 20th century saw huge growth in entertainment, tourism, and technology. California is the home of several significant economic regions such as Hollywood (television, music and movie production), Central Valley (agriculture), Tech Coast and Silicon Valley (computer hardware and software), and wine producing areas such as Santa Barbara and Northern California's Wine Country. The predominant industry is agriculture (fruit, vegetables, dairy, wine). The Central Valley is home to California's agricultural industry, the largest of any state, and one of the most vital in the country. The Central Valley grows about 1/3 of the food in the U.S.A. California is a global leader in computers and information technology. The Sacramento and the San Joaquin Rivers are deep enough that several inland cities are seaports. The Sacramento-San Joaquin Bay Delta serves as a critical water supply hub for California. The Delta provides drinking and farming water for almost 2/3 of the state's population (23 million people). SCHOOLS California's public educational system is supported by a unique constitutional amendment that requires 40% of state revenues to be spent on education. Public secondary education consists of high schools that teach elective courses in trades, languages, and liberal arts with tracks for gifted, college-bound and industrial arts students. The California State University system is the largest university system in the United States. The preeminent research university system in the state is the University of California which employs more Nobel Prize laureates than any other institution in the world, and is considered one of the world's finest public university systems. The California Community Colleges system is composed of 109 colleges. California is also home to such notable private universities as Stanford University, the University of Southern California (USC), the California Institute of Technology Caltech, and the Claremont Colleges. California has hundreds of other private colleges and universities, including many religious and special~purpose institutions. For more details please contact the California Department of Education. HOSPITALITY California has a reputation as a haven for people with creative minds. 39% of the population speaks a native language other than English, meaning California has more foreign language speakers than any other state in the country. On city streets from San Francisco to Los Angeles, you'll hear Spanish, Chinese (Mandarin and Cantonese), Tagalog, Russian, Italian, plus many more. It is very easy for visitors and tourists to get services and information in their own language. California is all about living life to the fullest, and there are possibly more tourist attractions than any other place in the world. Whether you’re here to experience the world famous cities in fine 1st~class style, or you prefer to rough it in the great outdoors, you’ll find all manner of options for overnight accommodations.
