The northern part of the Central Valley, roughly north of San Francisco, is the Sacramento Valley.
The southern part is the San Joaquin Valley (pronounced san wa-keen).
The entire Central Valley is intensively farmed. Fruit is the main crop in the south, while vegetables form the main crop in the slightly cooler north.
Many immigrants from Mexico work in the fields of the Central Valley.
According to one source, the Central Valley is the largest valley in the USA.
