Merced County, California
Merced County (pronounced "Mer-SED"), is a county located in the Central Valley of the
U.S. state of California, north of Fresno and southeast of San Jose. As of 2000 the
population was 210,554. The county seat is Merced. The county is named after the
Merced River.

Merced County was formed in 1855 from parts of Mariposa County. Parts of its territory
were given to Fresno County in 1856.

The county derives its name from the Merced River, or El Río de Nuestra Señora de la
Merced (River of Our Lady of Mercy); named in 1806 by an expedition, headed by Gabriel
Moraga, which came upon it at the end of a hot dusty ride.
