What is presently California was first settled by different Native Californian clans prior to being investigated by various Europeans during the sixteenth and seventeenth hundreds of years. The Spanish Empire then, at that point guaranteed and colonized it. In 1804, it was remembered for Alta California territory inside the Viceroyalty of New Spain. The region turned into a piece of Mexico in 1821, following its fruitful battle for freedom, yet was surrendered to the United States in 1848 after the Mexican–American War.

The California Gold Rush began in 1848 and prompted emotional social and segment changes, with enormous scope movement from different pieces of the United States and abroad and a going with period of prosperity. 

Outstanding commitments to mainstream society, for instance in amusement and sports, have their beginnings in California.

It is viewed as the beginning of the flower child nonconformity, sea shore and vehicle culture,[not checked in body] and the individual computer,[23] among other innovations.[24][25] The San Francisco Bay Area and the Greater Los Angeles Area are broadly seen as focuses of the worldwide innovation and media outlets, separately. California's economy is exceptionally different: 58% of it depends on finance, government, land administrations, innovation, and proficient, logical, and specialized business services.[26] Although it represents just 1.5% of the state's economy,[26] California's horticulture industry has the most elevated yield of any U.S. state.[27][28][29] California's ports and harbors handle about 33% of all U.S. imports, most starting in Pacific Rim global exchange. 

California imparts a boundary to Oregon toward the north, Nevada and Arizona toward the east, and the Mexican territory of Baja California toward the south. The state's assorted topography goes from the Pacific Coast and metropolitan regions in the west to the Sierra Nevada mountains in the east, and from the redwood and Douglas fir woods in the northwest to the Mojave Desert in the southeast. The Central Valley, a significant farming region, overwhelms the state's middle. In spite of the fact that California is notable for its warm Mediterranean environment and storm occasional climate, the huge size of the state brings about environments that shift from damp calm rainforest in the north to bone-dry desert in the inside, just as blanketed elevated in the mountains. This load of variables lead to a huge interest for water; in absolute numbers, California is the biggest purchaser of water on the whole mainland of North America. After some time, dry spells and out of control fires have expanded in recurrence and become not so much occasional but rather more all year, further stressing California's water security
