Fresno City!

Fresno City
Landmark #488 Fresno County Visited: February 21, 2015 Plaque?  NO. 🙁
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.

OTHER TIDBITS: That pretty well sums it up!

How can I Help the Helpers? HERE’S HOW:

  • Donate to the Fresno Historical Society!
  • Be a responsible visitor! Please respect the signs and pathways, and treat all structures and artifacts with respect. They’ve endured a lot to survive into the present. They’ll need our help to make it into the future!
