Fresno County, California
Fresno County is a county located in the Central Valley of the U.S. state of California,
south of Stockton and north of Bakersfield. As of 2007, its population was 1,002,284. The
county seat is Fresno.

The area now known as Fresno County, once a semiarid steppe, was discovered by
Spaniards during a search for suitable mission sites. In 1846, this area became the
property of the United States as a result of the Mexican War.

Fresno County was formed in 1856 from parts of Mariposa, Merced and Tulare counties.
Parts of Fresno County's territory was given to Mono County in 1861 and to Madera
County in 1893. The original county seat was placed in Millerton.

The county is named after Fresno Creek. Fresno in Spanish signifies "ash tree" and it was
due to the abundance of mountain ash or ash trees in the county that it received its
name.
