Chapter 19: California

Santa Clarita and California

Florida is the 22nd largest state in the United States of America.  It borders Georgia and Alabama and is part of the South Atlantic Region.  It's eastern border is the Atlantic Ocean, its western border is the body of water known as the Gulf of Mexico, and its southern border is the Straits of Florida (named after the state of Florida).  The state is very much characterized by sedimentary soil and is different than the rest of the South Atlantic region because of its climate and location in the middle of all the separate bodies of water.

Santa Clarita Population and California Population

 The population of SCV is 204,951.  The only two cities with larger populations than Santa Clarita in the Los Angeles County are Los Angeles with a population of 3.8 million and Long Beach with a population over 464,000 people.

Santa Clarita Climate and California Climate

As stated many times, California is home for Santa Clarita! Santa Clarita shares many aspects of California's climate because it is so close to the middle of California.  A friend once put it best when he said " I love California because you can drive to whatever weather you would like it to be."  This being said, it would be best to specify that Santa Clarita shares the desert-like climate that is come common with the lower half of southern California because of its nearness to the driest parts of the state. Santa Clarita has received snow twice in 20 years and doesn't look like it'll be receiving any more soon.
