California is a borough on the Monongahela River in Washington County, Pennsylvania, United States, and part of the Pittsburgh metropolitan area since 1950. The population was 5,479 as of the 2020 census and was estimated at 5,453 in 2021.[1] California is the home of Pennsylvania Western University or PennWest (formerly known as California University of Pennsylvania before July 2022). Founded in 1849, the borough was named for the territory of California following the Gold Rush. The borough has had two notably young mayors—Democrat Peter Daley, who was 22 at his election, and Republican Casey Durdines, who was 20 at his election.
