Brief
History:
Santa Clara County,
officially the County of Santa Clara, is
California's 6th most populous
county, and the county seat
and largest city is San Jose, the
10th most populous city in the United
States, California's 3rd most populous
city and the
most populous city in the San
Francisco Bay Area.
Home to Silicon Valley, Santa Clara
County is an economic center for high
technology and has the third highest GDP
per
capita in the world (after Zurich,
Switzerland and Oslo, Norway), according
to the Brookings Institution.
The county's
concentration of wealth, primarily
due to the tech industry, has made it the
most affluent county on the West Coast of
the
United States and the most affluent
outside the Washington metropolitan area
and one of the most affluent places in the
United States.
Santa Clara County is part of the
San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, CA

the
San Jose-San Francisco-Oakland, CA
Combined Statistical Area. Located on the
southern coast of San Francisco Bay,
the urbanized Santa Clara Valley

Bay Area and in Northern California.
