Geografia

La contea si trova nel centro-ovest dello Stato. Si colloca a sud della baia di San Francisco, su cui si affaccia a nord, ed è la contea più popolosa della California settentrionale. Occupa gran parte si quella che viene chiamata Silicon Valley. La parte centrale, da nord a sud, è occupata dalla valle di Santa Clara, che è la zona più abitata della contea. La zona est è occupata dalle catene Mt. Hamilton Range e Diablo Range. La faglia di Sant'Andrea passa tra le montagne di Santa Cruz nella parte meridionale e occidentale della contea.[3][4]

Storia

In origine l'area era abitata da diversi popoli nativi, tra cui Ohlone and Miwok. Gli esploratori spganoli arrivarono alla fine del 1700 e fondarono delle missioni. Verso la fine del 1800 la contea era nota per essere fertile per l'agricoltura, ma il Novecento vide la crescita della tecnologia.[5]

La contea è una delle contee originarie della California e fu istituita il 18 febbraio 1850. Parte del territorio originario venne poi usato nel 1853 per creare la contea di Alameda. La contea prende il nome dalla missione di Santa Clara fondata nel 1777, a sua volta chiamata così in onore di Chiara d'Assisi.[6][7]

Oggi la contea di Santa Clara è famosa soprattutto per la Silicon Valley, nella quale sono situate le sedi di molte importanti aziende nel settore informatico e dell'high tech.

Istruzione

La contea è sede dell'università di Stanford, della Santa Clara University e della San Jose State University.[4]
