The State of California

Nicknamed the "Golden State," California is the third largest state in area after Alaska and Texas. It covers 155,959 square miles, with an average of 217.2 persons per square mile in census 2000. The discovery of gold and the immigration in 1849 of thousands of "forty-niners" in search of the precious metal helped California's admission into the Union in 1850. Today, California has the highest population of any state in the nation and is America's principal agricultural state. It is also the home of Hollywood, the center of America's movie and television industry. Sacramento is the Capital and the state flower is the golden poppy. The largest city in Northern California is San Jose followed by San Francisco, which are California's third and fourth largest cities after Los Angeles and San Diego.
