History

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. Visalia is a Central California city situated in the heart of California’s agricultural San Joaquin Valley, approximately southeast of San Francisco and north of Los Angeles. An influx of European trappers, traders, explorers, miners and settlers affected the lifestyle of the native Yokuts since the Europeans brought a non hunter-gatherer culture as well as diseases the Yokuts had no resistance to. Settled in 1852, it is the oldest permanent inland settlement between Stockton, CA and Los Angeles.

The Spanish were reluctant to settle in this area because of climate and the danger from the local native American population. As of 2007, the city is estimated to have a population of 121,792 people and a Visalia Metropolitan Area area of 429,006.
