LegalMatch Can Find You Pre-Screened Fresno Lawyers Now

The largest city in the Central Valley of California, Fresno is home to almost half a million people. Named after the Spanish word for Ash tree, it sits close to the San Joaquin river. Like many western towns, Fresno owes its existence to the creation of a railway station in 1872. The flood prone San Joaquin encouraged worried residents to move from the nearby river town of Millerton, at that time the county seat, to the farther inland Fresno. Millerton was eventually abandoned and permanently flooded by the creation of Friant dam.
