Happy CowsCalifornia Dairy Industry: Ice Cream

We all scream for ice cream in California! And that rings true as California has been the nation's #1 ice cream-producing state for 20 years. In fact, it was famed former California Governor Ronald Reagan who declared National Ice Cream Month in his presidential seat on July 10, 1984. The state has witnessed many modern-day ice cream firsts, including the world's first hot fudge sundaes in Hollywood in 1906 and the largest ice cream sundae ever--constructed in Anaheim in 1985.
