Located south of San Francisco Bay, Santa Clara County is part of one of the state's busiest urban areas-the San Francisco Bay Area. There are nine counties which significantly contribute to the economy of the Bay Area as an urban center: Alameda, Contra Costa, San Mateo, Marin, Napa, San Francisco, Solano, Santa Clara, and Sonoma. Santa Clara shares borders with Santa Cruz and San Mateo counties to the west, Stanislaus and Merced counties to the east, San Benito County to the south, and Alameda County, its neighbor to the north.
