About California
California ( /kælɪˈfɔrnjə/ (help·info)) is a
state on the West Coast of the United States, along the Pacific
Ocean. It is bordered by Oregon to the north, Nevada to the east,
Arizona to the southeast, and to the south the Mexican state of Baja
California. California is the most populous U.S. state.[4] Its four
largest cities are Los Angeles, San Diego, San Jose, and San
Francisco.[5] It is known for its varied climate and geography as
well as its diverse population.
The area known as Alta California was colonized by the Spanish
Empire beginning in the late 18th century. It and the rest of Mexico
became an independent republic in 1821. In 1846 California broke
away from Mexico, and after the Mexican-American War, Mexico ceded
California to the United States. California became the 31st state
admitted to the United States on September 9, 1850.
California is the third-largest U.S. state by land area. Its
geography ranges from the Pacific coast to the Sierra Nevada in the
east, to Mojave desert areas in the southeast and the
Redwood-Douglas fir forests of the northwest. The center of the
state is dominated by the Central Valley, one of the most productive
agricultural areas in the world.
The California Gold Rush (1848–1855) dramatically changed California
with a large influx of people and an economic boom. The early 20th
century was marked by Los Angeles becoming the center of the
entertainment industry, in addition to the growth of a large tourism
sector in the state. Along with California's prosperous agricultural
industry, other industries include aerospace, petroleum, and
computer and information technology. California ranks amongst the
ten largest economies in the world, and were it a separate country,
it would be 35th among the most populous countries.
