Butte County is mostly an agricultural center for the Northern California area.
The main cities in Butte County are Oroville , the county seat, Paradise , a beautiful place to live, and Chico , home of the California State University, Chico . Our campus is spread out and comfortable with the central features being the Library, and the Campus Center. When you come out the front doors of the Campus Center, you are looking at the Business Education Department. Our climate is basically Mediterranean where the landscape is grasslands, farms, scattered oak trees and, of course, the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountain range. One of the main features of Butte County, is what we like to call the smallest mountain range in the world, the Sutter Buttes.
