People in the Northern Part of California would rather that they were not referred to Northen California. Why?
San Francisco people think they are in Northern California, Yet most of them have never been to Northern California.
Also if San Francisco is Northern California, Then where would Redding California be? You see people in the Redding area, Shasta County,Trinity County, Siskiyou County, Modoc County, Lassen County would rather not be affilated with the thought that San Francisco would be considered as also Northern California. San Francisco area is not Northern California and rules and regulations there should not govern what the people i n real Northern California do. So The people in these areas, in order to separate them from the thought of all this, have come up with "North State California".
That means the people in theses places have the right to say they are from Northern California, which has been taken away from them, when San Francisco Bay Area people they think they live in Northern California. So to stop the nonsense and confusion, North State California Is not San Francisco Bay Area. North State California is very different as you can see
by the map.
I hope that sets the record straight. Yeah!

SanFrancisco is in the Bay Delta Region, not even North anything according to
California Department of Fish and Game. California run offices. Proof that California does not consider SF as Northern California!
Notice that this Northstate television station uses the words "Northstate" in its heading. Check out KNVN
The Redding television station KRCR uses the words "Greater Northern California"
There was a time where The People of the Northstate tried to become a state in itself. Its not that we dislike anybody in the central (San Francisco) and southern part of the state,
we just dont like following their rules. As the rules that apply in the city life, should not effect what we do here. How fair would it be if the Northstate made the rules
and regulations of how people live in the city, without knowing how they live.
Just for fun do a search using "Northstate", see what you get.
