In 1852 some adventuresome pioneers settled in this area, called
"Four Creeks." It was a swampy area within a massive oak forest, with waterways flowing from the Sierra Nevada. Desirous of local autonomy, the group
petitioned the state legislature for county status, and on July 10 Tulare County became a reality.
In the heart of "Four
Creeks County"
the site of John Wood's cabin became the first county seat, known as
Woodsville.
Visalia, named for Nathaniel Vise's
ancestral home - Visalia, Kentucky
- Visalia
began to add residents at a rapid rate in the mid 1850's.
Today, the City of Visalia is located in Tulare County,
which is located in the San Joaquin Valley, approximately 185 miles north of Los Angeles and 220 miles south of San Francisco.
Historically, Visalia's
economy has been based upon agriculture and related industries.
