  2. California is the third-largest U.S. state by land area, after Alaska and Texas. It became the 31st state admitted to the union on September 9, 1850. • It is located on the West Coast of the United States, and is bordered by Oregon to the north, Nevada to the east, Arizona to the southeast, the Mexican state of Baja California to the south, and the Pacific Ocean to the west. • Its four largest cities are Los Angeles, San Diego, San Jose, and San Francisco. • California is the most geographically diverse state in the nation, and contains the highest (Mount Whitney) and lowest (Death Valley) points in the continental United States. • In the 19th century, the California Gold Rush brought about dramatic changes, with a large influx of people and an economic boom that caused San Francisco to grow from a hamlet of tents to a world-renowned boomtown. Key developments in the early 20th century included the emergence of Los Angeles as center of the American entertainment industry, and the growth of a large, state-wide tourism sector. In addition to California's prosperous agricultural industry, other important contributors to the economy include aerospace, petroleum, and informationtechnology. If California were a country, it would rank among the ten largest economies in the world, with a GDP similar to that of Italy. It would be the 35th most populous country.

The Sierra Nevada (Spanish for "snowy range") include the highest peak in the contiguous forty-eight states, Mount Whitney, • Many of the trees in the California White Mountains are the oldest in the world; one Bristlecone pine has an age of 4,700 years. • Deserts in California make up about 25 percent of the total surface area ( The east side of California's mountains produce a rain shadow, creating expansive deserts ) • California is famous for earthquakes due to a number of faults, in particular the San Andreas Fault. It is vulnerable to tsunamis, floods, droughts, Santa Ana winds, wildfires, landslides on steep terrain, and has several volcanoes. • The name California is most commonly believed to have derived from a fictional paradise peopled by BlackAmazons and ruled by a Queen Califia.
