Do you know the way to San Jose?
Established in 1777 by Spanish settlers as El Pueblo de San José de Guadalupe, San Jose is one of the oldest settlements in the state of California. In 1850, when California gained statehood, San Jose served as its first capital. It is the third largest city in California, and the tenth largest in the United States. Today, San Jose is widely known as the capital of Silicon Valley, attracting thousands of business travelers to the vast number of high-tech companies. Its proximity to San Francisco is also a big attraction to tourists, as are the many famous vineyards and beaches of the region, all benefiting from the Bay Area’s Mediterranean climate. It is one of the safest large cities in the USA – since 2002 the city has consistently ranked as the safest American city with a population over 500,000. Set in the heart of the world-famous Silicon Valley, San Jose is the perfect destination for those who want to be at the cutting edge of the high-tech industries.
