Baja California, Mexican state at northwesternmost edge of Mexico.
Baja California extends across 70,113 square kilometers between the Pacific Ocean and the Gulf of California, containing deserts, mountains, and coastal regions.
The territory transformed from a Spanish colonial region to a Mexican state in 1952, following centuries of missionary settlements and indigenous populations.
The state combines Mexican traditions with international influences, particularly in Tijuana and Mexicali, where Chinese and Korean communities contribute to local customs.
The manufacturing sector employs numerous workers in export-oriented facilities, with direct transportation links to California through multiple border crossings.
The Sierra de San Pedro Martir mountain range contains the state's highest elevations, supporting pine forests amid surrounding desert landscapes.
