By 1847, California would be recognized as a U.S. territory and by 1848 gold would be discovered at Sutter’s Mill which would harken a rush of gold-seekers that was unparalleled in American history. Everyone wanted to strike it rich by finding their fortune in the creeks and countryside of the region.
In 1850, California was declared the 31st state. Today it is the third biggest state and follows only Alaska and Texas for sheer size. It is now home to millions of acres of farmland which makes it the leader in all agricultural production in the United States. In addition, it has the reputation of being a tourist hotspot with attractions like Yosemite National Park, Golden Gate Bridge, Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Alcatraz, Disneyland, and Angel Island.
Although the terrain of California varies, the weather is typically mild in most areas with the average temperature holding at around 50 degrees Fahrenheit to 80 degrees Fahrenheit throughout the year. The days are usually sunny and there is extraordinarily little rain. The average humidity holds at around 65 percent. One nice perk about Cali is that the nights are usually very mild. You can often get by with nothing but a sweater. The mountainous regions will see snowfall. Most people feel that the best time to visit the state weather-wise is in the spring or autumn when temperatures tend to remain very stable.
Everyone knows that true foodies love California. You can choose from so many different types of foods, drinks, and places to dine such as simple eateries to upscale restaurants. Food has a place in history within the state. Ancient Egyptians might have created sourdough bread, but it was a family of bakers that made the unusual bread famous during the state’s Gold Rush. Boudin, the country’s oldest baker, still calls San Francisco home. Traditional Mexican food is also a must-enjoy staple for anyone visiting or residing in the state. San Francisco is even credited with creating the famous fortune cookie. In fact, a battle raged between Los Angeles and San Francisco because both wanted to proclaim themselves the origin of the cookie.
