San
Jose and area is arguably the high-tech capital of North America,
and perhaps the world. Home of major computer research and manufacturing
facilities, San Jose has a well-educated and affluent population.
Incorporated in 1850, San Jose rose to prominence as the centre
of a major fruit-growing and winery area. Along with its high-technology
core, food-processing remains an important part of the area's
economy.
