Fresno (/ ˈfrɛz.noʊ / ⓘ; Spanish for ' ash tree ') is a city in the San Joaquin Valley of California, United States. It is the county seat of Fresno County and the largest city in the greater Central Valley region, as well as the most populated city in Central California.
But it’s also full of surprises. For example, Fresno is the only California city centered between three national parks: Yosemite, Kings Canyon, and Sequoia are only a 90-minute drive from Fresno. Fresno is also the number one agricultural-producing county, not only in California but in the nation.
Fresno, city, seat (1874) of Fresno county, central California, U.S. The town site—located in the San Joaquin Valley, about 190 miles (305 km) southeast of San Francisco—was settled in 1872 as a station on the Central (later Southern) Pacific Railroad.
Fresno is the fifth largest city in California and sits in the middle of the San Joaquin Valley. The city was formed just after the California Gold Rush in 1856 and was named after the large number of ash trees that sit along the side of the San Joaquin river.
