CALIFORNIA

Wedged between a wall of high mountains and the deep sea lies the Pacific Coast State of California. On Sept. 9, in 1850, 158,693-sq. mi. (411,013-sq. km.) of the Pacific Coast became California – the 31 st state of the United States. The California Poppy is the state flower and the state bird is the California Quail. Redwood, the giant sequoia of the Sierra Nevada and the coast redwood are the state trees – the biggest and tallest of all trees.

Imagine California with no farms, no vineyards, no aqueducts, no reservations, no towns or cities, no Silicon Valley, no San Joaquin Valley or Imperial Valley, no Disneyland, no Hollywood, no factories, dams, bridges or freeways. This was the Pacific Coast State before 1769, before the Spanish explorers and priests came. Before the shout heard around the world “Gold! Gold from the American River!” In 1849 masses of people came, gold-seekers, they came to get rich. A few did many didn't.

Today, more people live in California than in any other state. Also today, more and more people keep coming to the Golden State, if not for gold for other treasures. They all have one thing in common dreams and visions of a better life, if not for them for their family. Californians turn dreams into reality. California! You're the greatest….
