California is the most populous state in the nation; its largest cities are Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Jose and San Diego. Formerly a colony of Mexico, it was ceded to the United Sates after the Mexican-American War of 1848. California officially became a state in 1850. It is the third largest state in the US and contains extreme variations in geography and climate. The center of the state is dominated by the Central Valley, one of the most productive agricultural areas in the world. Sequoia National Park is home to the largest living organisms on earth, the giant sequoia tree. Many of the tress located in the California White Mountains are the oldest living organisms anywhere; one of the Bristlecone pine trees is 4,700 years old.
California is home to over 37 million people making it more populated than all but 34 countries; Los Angeles County alone is more populated than 42 US states. Its annual GDP is roughly $1.7 trillion dollars ranking it number eight in the world; only seven countries have a higher GDP than the state of California. Even though the high tech industries of the Silicon Valley and the entertainment conglomerates of Hollywood contribute heavily to the economy, agriculture by far is still the leading industry.
California is also home to some of the most scenic natural places in the United States including the unequaled 17 mile drive around Monterrey, the beautiful drive along the Pacific from San Francisco to Santa Barbara and the haunting forests of the Sequoia National Park; there are many places like this which warrant an unhurried visit.
