The State of California

CALIFORNIA, one of the Pacific Coast states of the U.S., bounded on the N by Oregon, on the E by Nevada and Arizona, on the S by the Mexican state of Baja California, and on the W by the Pacific Ocean. The Colorado R. forms the S portion of its E border.

California entered the Union on Sept. 9, 1850, as the 31st state. Agriculture and mining have always been important to the economy of California. Industrial activity has expanded rapidly in the 20th century along with a booming population. By the 1990s California had a larger population than any other state and was the leading producer by value of both agricultural and manufactured goods. The name California was first given to the Baja California Peninsula by the Spanish explorer Hernán CortÉs in the early 16th century and was applied by other explorers to more N areas. The word is derived from the name of an imaginary island in a popular Spanish romance of the time. California is called the Golden State.

California, with an area of 423,970 sq km (163,696 sq mi), is the third largest state in the U.S.; 44.9% of the land area is owned by the federal government. The state most resembles an arc; its extreme dimensions are about 1240 km (about 770 mi) from N to S and about 595 km (about 370 mi) from E to W. California has a great complexity of relief, with elevations from 86 m (282 ft) below sea level in Death Valley (the lowest point on the continent), to 4418 m (14,494 ft), atop Mt. Whitney, the highest peak in the conterminous states. The state's coastline extends 1352 km (840 mi); its tidal shoreline is 5514 km (3427 mi) long.
