Sunnyvale is one of the major cities in Santa Clara County, California, that make up the Silicon Valley. Silicon Valley originally referred to the region's large number of silicon chip innovators and manufacturers, but eventually came to refer to all the high-tech businesses in the area. As part of the Silicon Valley, Sunnyvale is headquarters to several high-tech, bioengineering, pharmaceutical, aerospace, and defense companies.
Despite the development of other high-tech economic centers throughout the United States, Silicon Valley continues to be the leading high-tech hub because of its large number of engineers and venture capitalists. Geographically, Silicon Valley encompasses the northern part of Santa Clara Valley and adjacent communities.
