Economically it was the first state to ever reach a trillion dollars in gross state product. It has the largest economy in the country and if were measured alone in the financial world it was be ranked as the 7th largest economy. It truly is the Golden State. There are many things to see and do if you are visiting the state. The Golden Gate Bridge is beautiful as the sun comes up on San Francisco. Perhaps the beautiful woodlands in Northern California peak your interest? No matter whether you wish to visit or are looking to move to this land of wonder. And do not count the state out when you consider the Wild West. Despite its modern taste, the state is still home to the largest three-day rodeo in the U.S. and it is held on the Tehama County Fairgrounds in Red Bluff. To showcase the trains of yester-year, it is also home to the California State Railroad Museum, the largest museum of its kind in the United States.
Being a tourist is great if you only want to experience the state in small doses. But if you were thinking of making it more permanent, here are a few facts you didn’t think of.
- The largest display of military aircraft in the state is located at the Castle Air Museum in Atwater
- Sequoia National Park has the largest living tree with a trunk that measures 102 feet around.
- It has two, of the ten populated cities in the U.S., Los Angeles and San Diego.
- More than 300,000 tons of grapes are grown in California a year.
- There are approximately a half million seismic tremors in California a year.
California has its ups and downs, but if you wanted to make the state your home…you would not be alone. With a population that big, you would blend in fine.
