Every citation in the article seems to include Kern County as part of Central California, yet as defined in the article and according to "most sources" (undefined), Central California does not include Kern County. That definition has to do with splitting the state up evenly by latitude, but does anyone actually do that? I don't see that anywhere but Wp, which is not how things are supposed to work.

Why the disambig? I was noticing going through the Central CA links that many of them meant the Central Valley, and not the Central Coast, so I disambiged and tried to direct most of the "What Links Here"s away. Simple as that. -- Jjjsixsix ( talk)/( contribs) 01:18, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
Googling for "Central California":
So, yes, there should be an article on Central California to go along with Southern California and Northern California. -- Born2cycle ( talk) 23:07, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
I expanded and clarified the description of Central California, basically as the part of Northern California south of the Bay Area and the Delta and west of the Sierra crest. It can still use more work, especially more references. But for now the fact that it fits intuitively in the middle third of the state by latitude, and matches where I'm aware the term is actually used, should keep it non-controversial while people look for more references to improve it.

center is exactly 36 deg 30 min n, at Carmel--but as you say not far from the City This would amaze most Californians as San Francisco is definitely considered Northern Ca, — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.99.130.134 ( talk) 20:30, 22 March 2017 (UTC)
I added a Geobox, map image, and new sections on Geography, Education and Transportation. I tried to keep everything so it's non-controversial - but the article needs help with references. Ikluft ( talk) 14:03, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

its missing Inyo and mono counties —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.51.212.6 ( talk) 07:18, 7 March 2010 (UTC)
Same - SLO County is DEFINITELY Central CA if you live there — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.65.201.247 ( talk) 22:23, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
Who calls it cen-cal? I've hear of people using Nor-Cal and So-Cal for northern and southern California, but never Cen-Cal for central California. I've lived in several central California cities and never have I heard the term Cen-Cal. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.170.96.104 ( talk) 00:22, 28 May 2015 (UTC)
No one but Wp. I lived in S Ca 5 yrs, over 40 in N cal, no one calls it Cen Cal. In fact,Wp's borders are wrong by common usage.
This map is not of Central Cal but of part of Central Valley. No one from CA does this. A proper map extends w to e, including the coast and mountains. BTW, Central is centered about Carmel, so you really must go equidirectional n and S to include it as well as E-W. Look at any Map of C Cal: http://www.discover-central-california.com/central-california-map.html
Even this is disputable. Most merely mean the central coast when they say C cal. 184.99.130.134 ( talk) 16:09, 22 March 2017 (UTC)
Not true. People may be talking about either the Central Coast or the Central Valley when they try to define Central California. Pf1127 ( talk) 07:37, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

@ Zzyzx11: I'm starting to carefully edit the article to remove material that violates our neutral point of view guideline, our reliable sources guideline, and our manual of style.
One factual dispute appears to be the exact definition of "Central California". JustSumVerySmartKids created a map that shows Central California stretching all of the way to the Nevada State line. This contradicts the previous map and the Eastern California article.
The definition of "Northern" or "Central" or "Eastern" California may not be precise enough to make maps. Do we have any reliable sources that defines "Central California"? For now, I'll revert the definition to the previous version of the article, but perhaps leave the map out until we can settle the dispute. — hike395 ( talk) 16:56, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
Central California is considered to be in the middle of California that's why it's called Central Valley, Central California s known for cities like Fresno, Sacramento, Modesto, Stockton, Or Bakersfield Even Tho Bakersfield Is Actually Not Central Californiaand
lot of people often confuse Sacramento to be NorCal but it's not Norcal its Central Californiaand
The Central Coast Is The Most Beautiful Part Of Central California In My Opinion. I think it's beautiful because there is lots of cliffs that has beautiful views of the Pacific Ocean. Another reason is there is lots of trails to walk on and is really good for outdoor activities but remember the Weather usually is Foggy in the Fall - Summer so the most recommended time to go is Summer. The Final Reason is you can go Fishing, Swimming, Sailing, and a lot more because of the one and only Ocean. Well That's All About The Central Coast.and

JustSumVerySmartKids made a new map which excludes Eastern California. But I worry that using any map would favor one particular definition over others, and it's clear from all of the references that there is no commonly-agreed-upon definition. I would propose not using any map in the infobox. — hike395 ( talk) 21:05, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
