Northern California is the northern portion of the U.S. state of California. The region contains the San Francisco Bay Area, San Jose (the third-largest city in California), Sacramento (the state capital), as well as the substantial natural beauty of the redwood forests, the northern California coast, the Big Sur coastline area, the Sierra Nevada including Yosemite Valley and Lake Tahoe, Mount Shasta which is the second-highest peak in the Cascade Range, and the Central Valley. Native Americans arrived in Northern California at least as early as 5,000 to 8,000 BC and perhaps even much before, and successive waves of arrivals led to one of the most densely populated areas of pre-Columbian North America. The arrival of European explorers from the early 1500s to the mid-1700s, did not establish European settlements in Northern California. In 1770, the Spanish mission at Monterey was the first European settlement in the area, followed by other missions along the coast—eventually extending as far north as Sonoma County. Definitions of what constitutes "Northern California" can vary. When the state is divided into two areas (Northern and Southern California) the term "Northern California" conventionally refers to the forty-eight counties north of the ten counties of Southern California; the term is also occasionally applied to the area north of the Tehachapi Mountains. This common and intuitive definition coincides neatly with the county lines at 35° 47' 28? north latitude (the sixth standard parallel south of the Mount Diablo base) which form the southern boundaries of Monterey, Kings, Tulare and Inyo Counties.[1] Because of California's large size and diverse geography, the state can be subdivided in other ways as well. For example, the Central Valley is a distinct region in itself both culturally and topographically from coastal California, though in Northern versus Southern California divisions, the Sacramento Valley and most of the San Joaquin Valley are usually placed in Northern California.
