Tulare County, California
|
Tulare County is a county located in the Central Valley of the U.S. state of California,
south of Fresno. Sequoia National Park is located in the county. As of 2000 the population
was 368,021; as of 2007 the population estimate was 429,006. Its county seat is Visalia.
The county is named for Tulare Lake, once the largest freshwater lake west of the Great
Lakes and now drained.
Tulare County was formed from parts of Mariposa County in 1852. Parts of the county's
territory were given to Fresno County in 1856, to Kern County in 1866, to Inyo County in
1866 and Kings County in 1893.
Comandante Pedro Fages, while hunting for deserters in 1772, discovered a great lake
surrounded by marshes and filled with rushes which he named Los Tules (the tules). It is
from this lake that the county derives its name. The root of the name Tulare is found in
the Mexican word tullin, designating cattail or similar reeds.
The infectious disease Tularemia caused by the bacterium Francisella tularensis is named
after Tulare County.
