About Us: New California License Plates

Our Journey Begins (2012)

Welcome to New California License Plates, an online haven dedicated to bringing you the latest news and insights into the unique automotive culture of our state. Founded in 2012, our journey began with a simple yet powerful idea: to create a one-stop resource for all things related to New California license plates.

The inspiration stemmed from a realization that while California boasts an incredibly diverse vehicle landscape, there was a distinct lack of centralized information about the iconic license plate designs that represent our regions. We set out to fill this gap and celebrate the automotive heritage that makes our state so special.

2017: Collaboration with local auto clubs to host an annual license plate appreciation event, fostering a community of like-minded individuals.
2019: Expansion of our team and introduction of interactive features on the site, allowing users to share their plate stories and personal collections.
