It's Fresno County's Sesquicentennial.... which means Fresno County is 150 years young this year!

Created in 1856, six years after California became a state, Fresno County's history is an important part of the California story. It's the immigrant story. It's the story of people and their relationship with the land. It's an American story.

Explore with us some of the history of the region.
