Long Valley Caldera has erupted several times. The one that actually formed the caldera took place 760,000 years ago, but after that there were more 500,000, 300,000, and 100,000 years ago.
The major city closest to Long Valley Caldera is Mammoth Lakes in California. It is located about 12 miles southeast of the caldera.
No one lives in the caldera itself, Mammoth Lakes is on the rim of the caldera and the 2000 US census put their population at 7,093.
Long Valley caldera is classified as a supervolcano. It is a large volcanic caldera in eastern California that was formed by a massive explosive eruption around 760,000 years ago. It is known for its potential to produce extremely large and destructive eruptions.
They are: 1. Yellowstone Caldera (Idaho and Wyoming, US) 2. Long Valley Caldera (California, US) 3. Valles Caldera (New Mexico, US) 4. Toba Caldera (Sumatra, Indonesia) 5. Taupo Caldera (North Island New Zealand) 6. Aira Caldera (Kagoshima, Japan)
No, Buckhorn Caldera was not the last volcano to erupt. There have been volcanic eruptions worldwide since Buckhorn Caldera's last eruption about 38 million years ago. Some recent eruptions include those of Kilauea in Hawaii, Eyjafjallajökull in Iceland, and Taal in the Philippines.

In a few places, yes. For example, the town of Mammoth Lakes, California is built in the Long Valley Caldera.

it erupted 760,000 years ago.
Yes. it is int he United States.
Yes, a caldera can erupt. When a caldera erupts, it often results in explosive volcanic activity due to the release of built-up pressure from beneath the Earth's surface. This can lead to the formation of new volcanic deposits and potentially cause widespread destruction in the surrounding area.
