California (IPA: /ˌkælɪˈfɔrnjə/) is a
state on the West Coast of the United States, along the Pacific Ocean. It
borders Oregon to the north, Nevada to the east, Arizona to the southeast, and
on the south by the Mexican state of Baja California. California is the most
populous U.S. state. Its four largest cities are Los Angeles, San Diego, San
Jose, and San Francisco. 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. It was
admitted to the Union on September 9, 1850.
It is the third-largest U.S. state by land area. Its geography ranges from the
Pacific coast to the Sierra Nevada mountains 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 began in 1848, dramatically changing 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, just behind Kenya.
