Well, first it was to pick the fruit that needed picking (see Grapes of Wrath).
Then it was the post WWII boom SoCal went through.
Then the computer era boom Silicon Valley went through in the 80-90s.
The Hollywood dream has played a huge part from the twenties to today.
The weather is pretty nice too.
Today farming is automatic or Mexican (and beneath most "americans"), the SoCal boom is long over (and has turned into sprawling suburbs, ghettos, stinky industry and corruption), speculation did a number on the computer era boom, the Hollywood dream has always been just that, a dream and the weather seems nice, but has a nasty backhand.
