 California is a state located in the western United States,
bordering the Pacific Ocean. The most populous and third largest
state in the U.S., With a population roughly the size of Canada
and one of the biggest economies in the world, California is
more like a country than a state. California is both physically
and demographically diverse. The state's official nickname is
"The Golden State", which may refer either to the discovery of
gold in California in 1848 and the subsequent gold rush, or to
the golden brown color of much of the state during the summer.
California's U.S. postal abbreviation is CA, and its Associated
Press abbreviation is Calif. |
