What is it? | A less than specific location along Fresno Slough! |
What makes it historical? | THE GUIDE SAYS: “Fresno City” gradually arose at the head of navigation of the Fresno Slough, and existed from approximately 1855 to 1875 – today there are no traces of it left. In 1872, the “City of Fresno,” later the county seat, was established about 30 miles to the southwest, on the newly built Central Pacific Railroad.
