Description
Fresno, California 1901.
In 1856, the County of Fresno was formed near the San Joaquin River and was comprised of many small settlements along the river. The most populous, Millerton, was the county seat and attracted many settlers until 1867, when the San Joaquin flooded and destroyed the town. Other settlements were destroyed as well, and most of the settlers moved and rebuilt on higher ground. In 1872, the Central Pacific Railroad built a station, and a store followed soon thereafter. A town slowly grew around the railway station and store due to the convenience of both, and was named Fresno Station. Later shortened to Fresno, the town grew quickly and became the county seat within two years, and it was incorporated as a city in 1885. This beautiful map provides a look back to the early days of the city. Complete reference list below.
