Photos from CaliforniaThe name California was first applied to the island of California at what is now the southern tip of Baja California by a Spanish expedition in 1533. Spanish missionaries began setting up missions along the coast and later trappers and settlers from the U.S. and Canada began to arrive in the region. California is an amazingly diverse land, that's got it all : deserts, giant trees, high mountains, waterfalls, the most cosmopolitan city of the US, a beautiful coastlines and much more. |
