Sunshine, surf and the Golden Gate: this Welcome to California sign brings the West Coast indoors. "Welcome to California" and "The Golden State" sit in white type on a green, road-sign-style panel framed by a thin white border, and the wording is fixed as shown.
The nickname goes back to the Gold Rush, which began when gold was found at Sutter's Mill in 1848 and drew hundreds of thousands of fortune seekers west. Sacramento is the capital, San Francisco has the Golden Gate Bridge, and Yosemite National Park is known for its granite cliffs and waterfalls. Death Valley holds the lowest point in North America, and California has more people than any other state.
It works in a surf shack, a home office or a hallway. Clean keeps the colours sharp; Rusted gives a printed, sun-bleached weathering rather than real rust. This is a decorative reproduction and not an official California road sign.
