FRESNO COUNTY COLLECTION

The Fresno County Collection documents the many towns and communities throughout a county that covers 6,011 square miles. Between 1856 and 1893, Fresno County also covered Madera County to the north and Kings County to the south. This broad landscape is detailed through images from the mountain communities in the Sierra Nevada to Coalinga on the west side.
