US-1080525 California

This is a state PC from California where I spent my childhood. I found it to be a magical place, but then again most people think that of their childhood. I go back at least twice a year and still have tons of family and friends there.  I grew up in Long Beach, which you'll find noted by the surfer and movie reel. I can tell you though, I dont miss the cost of living or gas prices.

-California was the name given to a mythical island populated only by beautiful Amazon warriors using gold tools and weapons in the popular early 16th-century romance novel Las Sergas de Esplandian (The Adventures of Esplandián) by Spanish author Garci Rodriquex de Montalvo. The Island was ruled by Queen Calafia
     -The name California is the 5th oldest surviving European place-name in the US
-It is also suggested that the word California may signify that it is a place that is "hot as an oven", because in Cataln "cal" means hot and "forn" means oven. (From the latin roots calida > hot, fornax > oven). Or from portuguese: "cal" means Calcium oxide (quicklime) and "forno" means, again, oven. It may signify quicklime oven.
-Another suggested source is kali forno, an indigenous phrase meaning "high mountains"
