Celebrating 175 years of California Dreaming
California, a state of dreamers and doers, has driven profound progress over the last 175 years through its profound resilience, welcoming spirit, and respect for personal freedom.

California’s success is powered by its strong, diverse communities.
Our greatest resource is our people.
Throughout history, California has come together to learn from the challenges we’ve faced to create a stronger, more vibrant future. There is still more work to do as we develop a ‘more perfect union’ – but it cannot be denied: the future happens here, first — together.

175 years later,
California stands as a global leader in technology, agriculture,
arts, entertainment, and innovation.
