With roughly 126,000 residents, Santa Clara is the ninth-largest city in the San Francisco Bay Area. It sits between San Jose and Sunnyvale and shares its name with its county, Santa Clara County. The city dates back to the late 18th century and is named after Mission Santa Clara de Asis, the eighth mission in California. For much of its history, Santa Clara's many successful fruit orchards made it a big part of local agriculture. In the mid-20th century, Santa Clara's population multiplied with the advent of the semiconductor. Silicon Valley, as the area became known, grew around Santa Clara. Many major tech companies are now headquartered in Santa Clara, including Intel, Texas Instruments and Applied Materials. Levi's Stadium, home field of the NFL's San Francisco 49ers, is in Santa Clara too. For a day out, there's the Intel museum and California's Great America.
