After years primarily as a small farming community, San Jose grew at a rapid pace beginning in the 1950’s to become a major population center. Now, San Jose is the third largest city in California and the tenth largest in the United States. The city is sometimes referred to as the "capital of Silicon Valley" for its position as the largest city within Silicon Valley. Because of the continued prominence of technology companies, San Jose continues to be a global economic center.
Visitors will enjoy the Tech Museum of Innovation, a contemporary science and technology museum that features hands-on exhibits, perfect for children. Another unique destination is the Winchester Mystery House, a purported ghost house built by an eccentric widow of a firearms magnate. Natural features include Almaden Quicksilver County Park, Alum Rock Park, and History Park.
San Jose is deeply connected to the rest of the Bay Area, primary through highways like I-880 and I-680. Because of the pleasant weather, many residents of San Jose prefer lighter vehicles such as sedans and convertibles.
