If you can't make good wine, make raisins. That's how Fresno made the most of an economic opportunity. Once a barren community, irrigation led to grape-growing in the valley by 1885. Many immigrants relocated to Fresno to own and operate vineyards. But the wine proved less than satisfactory, so the sunny valley was used to turn those grapes into raisins. So it's no wonder that agriculture is the backbone of Fresno, making up 20 percent of the workforce. Fresno County is the number one agricultural county in the U.S. Grapes, cotton, cattle, tomatoes, milk, oranges, peaches and nectarines are just a few of the most important commodities. Food processing is also key. Fresno's locale is ideal for manufacturing and distribution centers, within one day's drive of 35 million people. Among the most notable companies located in the city are Sun-Maid and Kraft Foods.
If you plan on relocating to Fresno, count on plenty of sunshine with over 200 clear days each year. In the heart of California, Fresno's terrain is flat for the most part before reaching the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Temperatures can fluctuate greatly. Summers tend to be hot and dry with an average temperature of 94.1 in August. Winters are likely to be mild and rainy with an average 39.6 degrees in January. Spring and fall are the most favorable of seasons in Fresno. Be fore warned [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it doesn't rain much with precipitation averages of 10 inches a year.
Fresno is also the gateway to some well-known national parks offering visitors views of canyons, waterfalls, and the oldest forests and giant sequoia trees. Visitors coming from Los Angeles can access the Yosemite National Park, just an hour's drive away. The city serves as entrance to the Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks. The Sierra Nevada Mountains also offer a popular attraction. Add Death Valley National Park to the mix and you'll find everything from flat [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], scorching deserts to high mountains with streams and everything in between. Some of California's finest trout and largemouth bass fishing are found in the area. It's also a great place for rafting, camping, hiking and skiing.
