  1. California 50 States Project By:DaKeldrickCartwright

  2. Although California was sighted by Spanish navigator Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo in 1542, its first Spanish mission (at San Diego) was not established until 1769. California became a U.S. territory in 1847 when Mexico surrendered it to John C. Frémont. On Jan. 24, 1848, James W. Marshall discovered gold at Sutter's Mill, starting the California Gold Rush and bringing settlers to the state in large numbers. By 1964, California had surpassed New York to become the most populous state. One reason for this may be that more immigrants settle in California than any other state—more than one-third of the nation's total in 199State Abbreviation - CAState Capital - SacramentoOther Notable Cities - Los Angeles, San Diego, San FranciscoArea - 163,707 square miles [California is the 3rd biggest state in the USA - only Alaska and Texas are bigger]Population - 33,871,648 (as of 2000) [California is the most populous state in the USA]Name for Residents - CaliforniansMajor Industries - agriculture (many, many products), oil, mining, electronics, movie making/entertainment, and tourism Presidential Birthplace - Richard Milhous Nixon was born in Yorba Linda on January 9, 1913 (he was the 37th US President, serving from 1969 to 1974). Main Rivers - Sacramento River, Colorado River, San Joaquin RiverHighest Point - Mt. Whitney, 14,495 feet (4,418 m) above sea levelLowest Point - Death Valley, 282 feet (86 m) below sea level [this is the lowest point in the Western Hemisphere]Number of Counties - 58Bordering States - Oregon, Nevada, ArizonaBordering Country - MexicoBordering Body of Water - Pacific Ocean Origin of the Name California - The name California comes from a mythical Spanish island ruled by a queen called Califia that was featured in a Spanish romance ("Las Sergas de Esplandian") written by Garcia Ordonez de Montalvo in 1510. The Spanish explorers originally thought that California was an island. State Nickname - The Golden StateState Motto - Eureka (I have found it)State Song - "I Love You, California" 4. Asians and Pacific Islanders led the influx. Leading industries include agriculture, manufacturing (transportation equipment, machinery, and electronic equipment), biotechnology, aerospace-defense, and tourism. Principal natural resources include timber, petroleum, cement, and natural gas. Death Valley, in the southeast, is 282 ft below sea level, the lowest point in the nation. Mt. Whitney (14,491 ft) is the highest point in the contiguous 48 states. Lassen Peak is one of two active U.S. volcanoes outside of Alaska and Hawaii; its last eruptions were recorded in 1917. Other points of interest include Yosemite National Park, Disneyland, Hollywood, the Golden Gate Bridge, Sequoia National Park, San Simeon State Park, and Point Reyes National Seashore.

  6. California's state motto is "Eureka" meaning "I have found it." Between California's explosive growth following the discovery of gold in 1848, the fields of golden poppies that appear each spring throughout the state, the golden gate bridge, and the clear, golden coastal sunsets over the Pacific - California truly is the golden state! Gold is also one of California's official state colors.

Generally, these colleges require completion of a liberal arts core curriculum in addition to coursework in a major field of study, and offer majors in subject areas (English, history, philosophy, Spanish, etc.) which may not be designed to prepare students for a particular career as well as majors (accounting, business, pre-law, education, journalism, engineering) which are career specific.
