Silicon Valley is an area that located on the San Francisco, California, peninsula, radiates outward from Stanford University. It is contained by the San Francisco Bay on the east, the Santa Cruz Mountains on the west, and the Coast Range to the southeast.
At the center of Silicon Valley is San Jose, a city of just under 1 million people, boasting much cultural diversity, high levels of education, and low crime. The climate here is sub-tropical and palm trees, while not indigenous, thrive alongside beautiful oaks and redwoods.
