Located in central California, Fresno is the core city of the San Joaquin Valley region and the county seat of Fresno County. As the fifth largest city in California, it has a population of about 500,000 and is known for its agriculture and multiculturalism.
Fresno is located in California's Central Valley, about three hours from both San Francisco and Los Angeles. The city has a Mediterranean climate with hot, dry summers and mild, rainy winters, with an average of more than 300 days of sunshine per year, making it ideal for agriculture.
Known as the "Raisin Capital of the World," Fresno is an important distribution center for U.S. agricultural products, producing grapes, almonds, cotton and other crops. The gateway location to Yosemite National Park also promotes tourism.
The city is home to cultural institutions such as Fresno State University and the Fresno Art Museum, and hosts annual special events such as the Fresno Fair. The culture of the Chicano community has a profound influence on local food and festivals.
Fresno is connected to major California cities via Highway 99 and Highway 41, and domestic flights are available from Fresno Yosemite International Airport. In recent years the city has been promoting a downtown revitalization program to improve infrastructure.
