The nature of a city is determined by the characteristics of its people, the land on which they settle and the way they build their city, based on their history, culture and economy.‖1 To better comprehend the complexities of present development, as well as project future development, one must explore a city‘s past. This paper seeks to examine the past growth of the city of Fresno as a means to understanding its current form. The city of Fresno is located at the center of the San Joaquin Valley in California, which spans from the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta in the north to the Tehachapi Mountains in the south. The valley is a broad, flat land that lies between the Coast Ranges in the west and the Sierra Nevada Range in the east.
