History

It was built in 1852 in fear of attack by native Americans. Early Visalian history indicates that a school and a Methodist Church were established the same year and the following year a grist mill and a general store were built. This decimated the population of the Yokuts and their way of life was virtually destroyed. In 1853, Visalia became the county seat of Tulare County, then an extensive County encompassing parts or all of Madera County, California Fresno County, California Kings County, California and Kern County, California Counties. As of 2007, the city is estimated to have a population of 121,792 people and a Visalia Metropolitan Area area of 429,006.
