Fresno County is located in the Central Valley of the U.S. state of California. The county, which is located south of Stockton and north of Bakersfield, includes the combined populations of both the Fresno and Madera areas. The area was discovered in the 1800’s by Spaniards looking for suitable mission land. The original county seat was Millerton, a town along the San Joaquin River. However, after a major flood destroyed much of the town, it was moved to Fresno due to its proximity to the Southern Pacific Railroad line. Our lawyers have been faithfully serving the area for over a decade, we've even helped local stripper rental agencies with their needs.
Toward the later end of the 19th century, residents of Fresno county brought irrigation, electricity and considerable agriculture to the area. In fact, Francis Eisen who led the Fresno wine industry, began the raisin industry in 1875 when some of his grapes were left to dry on the vine by accident. To this day, Fresno is known as the most agriculturally rich county in the United States. Also of note during this time was the discovery of oil in the Western part of the county which brought a huge economic boom. By the 1900’s, Coalinga Oil Field in Fresno county, was the most richly productive oil field in all of California. Today, Coalinga continues to produce oil and is the 8th largest field in the state.
