Tulare County Summary

Tulare County is located in the Central Valley of California, and is the second largest county in the state. It is bordered by Fresno County to the north, Kern County to the east, Kings County to the south, and Merced County to the west. The county seat is Visalia, and the largest city is Tulare. The county has a total area of 4,863 square miles, making it the second largest county in California.

History

Tulare County was formed in 1852 from parts of Mariposa, Fresno, and Kern counties. It was named after the Tulare Lake, which was once the largest freshwater lake west of the Great Lakes. The lake was formed by the Kings River, which still runs through the county today.
The first inhabitants of the area were the Yokuts, who lived in the area for thousands of years before the arrival of Europeans. The first Europeans to explore the area were Spanish missionaries, who arrived in the late 1700s. The area was later settled by ranchers and farmers, and the county was officially established in 1852.
