California is the most populous in the United States. It's also the third largest state in the nation, housing almost 40 million people. Eight of the nation's most populated cities are located within California as well. Los Angeles is one of those cities. Orange County is a smaller county that borders Los Angeles county and is considered part of the Los Angeles metropolitan area. Most people probably do not know that Orange County is actually the second most densely populated county in California; the only one more densely populated is San Francisco County.
Orange County also houses many notable educational institutions, such as, UCI, Concordia University, Chapman University, and Cal State Fullerton.

In California, there climate can vary greatly depending where you are located. In Northern California, there can tend to be more of a maritime climate with much more fog and marine layer year round. There also tends to be more precipitation up north. Climate in Orange County is pretty mild year round. Orange County has a Mediterranean climate year round with little rainfall. This allows residents and tourists to enjoy the weather all year, regardless of the month. Storms do come occasionally, and very rarely, parts of Silverado Canyon and Saddleback peak will be dusted with snow.
The economy of Orange County is a flourishing multifaceted area. Orange County is home to many recognizable Fortune 500 companies as well as many places we all know and love. Irvine alone is home to the headquarters for In-N-Out, Taco Bell, El Pollo Loco, Wienerschnitzel, Mazda, Kia, Samsung, Broadcom, Gateway and Blizzard Entertainment (creators of World of Warcraft). Orange County also houses Hyundai headquarters, Mitsubishi, Del Taco, Hurley, Quiksilver, and even more. Google also has headquarters in Newport Beach.
