California is a state on the West Coast of the United States. It is home to the nation’s most populous city, Los Angeles, as well as San Francisco and San Diego. California is well known for its warm Mediterranean climate, with hot summers and cool winters.

The area was first settled by Native Americans who built granaries on many of the Sacramento River floodplains. The stream and flow of the Sacramento River through the Sacramento Valley created rich soil in the area, and led to agriculture and an increase in population. During the Mexican period up through World War II, there were cattle ranches and citrus orchards along both sides of the Sacramento River.

The construction of dams and canals across the river provided irrigation water and power. The prosperity following World War II saw an influx of people looking to settle in California. With the completion of the last dam, Shasta Dam in 1968, water flowed into the Sacramento Valley again, providing water for farming and creating Lake Shasta once again. The Central Valley is one of the most productive agricultural regions in the world, with fruit, vegetables and nuts being major crops. Sizable minorities of people also maintain dairy farms. In addition to these traditional agricultural uses, California now has became a major site for growing fruits, nuts, and vegetables through hydroponics technology. This includes more than half of all citrus production in the world.
