California

California, a state in the United States of America, hosts a large number of furry fandom members and a large place in the history of the fandom. The first furry convention, ConFurence, was first held in Costa Mesa, California in 1989 (running until 2003), and two ongoing conventions, Califur and Further Confusion, serve the Southern and Northern regions of the state respectively; in addition, Further Confusion is the 2nd largest furry convention in the world (after Anthrocon in Pennsylvania), and has the largest art show of any kind in the fandom.
