Southern California
California became the 31st state of the United States of America in the year 1850, and it quickly became one of the most populous states. There are several versions of stories behind the origin of the name California; however, the widely accepted one links it to Las Sergas de Esplandian, a famous Spanish novel of the 16th century that described California as a land of precious stones and gold.
