MenuCalifornia, Yorkshire
California is an urban area in Great Ayton, Yorkshire, in the North Riding. The area lies north-east of the High Green area of Great Ayton. The original houses here were built for the hundreds of men who came to the village to work as whinstone and ironstone miners. This mass immigration was likened to the American gold-rush, hence the name ‘California’. It is within the council area of North Yorkshire.
