From blooming fruit trees to an acclaimed art museum, discover the diversity of Fresno.
Although it’s in the heart of California’s most productive agricultural region, Fresno is also a sophisticated city of gorgeous gardens and parks, with a vibrant creative community and one unforgettable (and underground) attraction you won’t find anywhere else. It’s also the Central Valley’s largest city.
Founded in 1872 by the Central Pacific Railroad, the city of Fresno rapidly grew as an agricultural hub, thanks to the fertile soil of the San Joaquin Valley and the region’s favorable climate. Fresno's identity is deeply intertwined with its farming roots, particularly in grape cultivation, leading to its recognition as the "Raisin Capital of the World." Major crops in the area also include almonds, cotton, peaches, and nectarines. The city's growth continued to surge in the 20th century, fueled by an influx of immigrants from around the world, which gives the city a diverse, international feel.
Things to do
Along the San Joaquin River, the 300-acre park truly has something for everyone: five miles of trails, an authentic Japanese garden, three playgrounds, a dog park, a BMX track, and a disc golf course. The largest park in the county, Woodwark park was named after Ralph Woodward, who left part of his estate to provide a regional park and bird sanctuary in Fresno.
At some point, be sure to get out of the city and into the farmland surrounding Fresno. In early spring, drive or bike the 62-mile Blossom Trail, a loop lined by brilliantly blooming fruit and nut trees.
During summer, the drive morphs into the Fresno County Fruit Trail, with produce stands overflowing with fresh picked strawberries, blueberries, cherries, apricots, peaches, and more. Beginning in late May, the Fruit Trail also brings festivals and cultural events to other area towns: the Sanger Farmers Market and Street Faire (typically every Saturday in May and June), Clovis’ Big Hat Days (mid-June), and Kingsburg’s Summer Band Concerts Under the Stars (typically Thursdays in June and July).
