San Jose is the largest city in Northern California, with a population of over 971,000 and a rich history. Founded in 1777 as California’s first civilian settlement, it evolved from a Spanish pueblo to the state’s first capital and now stands as the “Capital of Silicon Valley,” home to tech giants like Cisco, Adobe, and eBay. A diverse city with a significant Vietnamese and Hispanic population, San Jose offers a mild Mediterranean climate and cultural hubs like Japantown and Little Portugal. Originally inhabited by the Tamien nation of the Ohlone people, San Jose reflects a blend of Native American, Spanish, Mexican, and American influences.
