Fresno, California

Nestled at the base of three national parks, Fresno is at the center of California and serves as the agriculture capital of the world. The splendor of the city's natural landscape makes it the perfect place to raise a family, pursue a career and grow old. As the fifth largest city in the state, Fresno offers excellent amenities to those moving there such as an international airport as well as plenty of opportunity for growth.

History:
Fresno was founded around 1872. It is located in the heart of the San Joaquin Valley, often referred to as the “Garden of the Sun" because of its agricultural prominence. The city offers some of the largest wineries and dried fruit company in the world. The city itself has burned down several times, and was badly flooded in 1884.Then, in 1872, with the development of a railroad line through the valley, and the town of Fresno was officially created. The city was incorporated in 1885. By 1900, the population of Fresno had reached exploded, and the city drafted its first charter. During the following decade agriculture flourished, and cotton growing and sweet wine production emerging as new industries. Fresno became the residential and commercial center of an increasingly prosperous region. With the expansion of manufacturing along with agriculture, Fresno was by the end of World War II a major metropolitan area. Before World War II, Fresno had several ethnic neighborhoods, including Little Armenia, German Town, Little Italy and Chinatown. During 1942, North Fresno became a popular destination for many Japanese immigrants. Fictional residents of the town were portrayed in a 1986 comedic mini series titled "Fresno", featuring Carol Burnett, Dabney Coleman, Teri Garr and Charles Grodin, In 1872, with the development of a railroad line through the valley, the town of Fresno was created. It took its name from the ash trees native to the valley

Economy:
Agriculture is the backbone of the Fresno area, employing nearly 20 percent of the workforce and providing more than $3.5 billion for the local economy. More jobs are tied into the agricultural industry than any other industry in the Freso area; estimates are that one in three jobs in all are related to agriculture. A majority of America's produce is grown in California's Central Valley, and Fresno County is the number one agricultural county in the United States. By 2005 more than 7,500 farmers were growing 250 types of crops on 1 million acres of some of the world's most productive farmland. Major crops are grapes, cotton, cattle, tomatoes, milk, plums, turkeys, oranges, peaches, and nectarines. A large food processing industry has developed around the agricultural activity; a number of canning, curing, drying, and freezing plants are located in the area. An Ernst and Young study also tapped Fresno as an ideal location for manufacturing and distribution, due to its proximity within one day's drive of 35 million people. Manufacturing concerns in this Port of Entry region produce farm machinery, metal products, transportation equipment, stone, clay, and glass products, lumber and wood products, furniture and fixtures, and electrical equipment. Government, services, and trade are also important economic sectors.

Tourism:
While Fresno itself is rarely considered a prime tourist destination, easy access to the beautiful Sierra Nevada range and three national parks have made Fresno a frequent stop for travelers. Hiking, camping, and mountain biking are popular activities, and nearby bodies of water like Huntington Lake attract sailboats, canoes and anglers. While in town, check out the Fresno Chaffee Zoo. The Chafee Zoo and Zoological Society encourages you to "explore the wildest jungles" right in Fresno. Next, head over to the Fresno Art Museum. The museum collects, preserves and exhibits to the public pieces valuable to art and history. Exhibitions include a wide range of contemporary and modern works by local, national and international artists. Finally, for the sports fan in the group, help cheer on the Fresno State Bulldogs at one of their many NCAA sporting events.
