(Robert Sepehr) In the 16th century, when Spanish explorers first discovered the Baja California peninsula, they believed it to be a large island. The name “California” was likely derived from a popular novel of the time, and eventually to the modern state of California, which obviously turned out to not be an island at all.

Stillness in the Storm Editor: Why did we post this?
History is the tapestry of events of human activity that have led to the present. Without understanding where we have been, we can’t properly understand and shape the future we want to create. The preceding information discusses history in some respect. With a proper understanding of history in hand, one can better comprehend their place in the present, as well as positively, contribute to the guiding of civilization toward a benevolent end.
