Tulare is a thriving community nestled within the heartof Central California’s San Joaquin Valley. The areaoffers many modern conveniences to accommodate itsgrowing base of residents and businesses, and also works
hard to preserve its strong historical roots.
The city has a unique heritage dating back hundreds of years,when the Native American Yokuts initially occupied the valley.Conservative estimates place the Yokuts’ population around18,000 in 1770. This number included approximately 60ethnically and linguistically separate tribes, who made their homearound Tulare Lake and the Kaweah River. But, as Americansettlers began moving further west, the Yokuts were graduallydisplaced from their land, with only a small number left at thetime of Tulare’s creation.
Transportation served as the driving force behind the founding ofTulare. The Southern Pacific Railroad chose to establish its SanJoaquin Valley headquarters in the area in 1872 – giving the newsettlement its name, Tulare, because of the many “tules” (Spanishfor bulrushes) growing in the area’s marshy lowlands and along theshores of its lakes. The railroad depot and related buildings wereerected and quickly joined by additional businesses and newresidents. Virtually overnight, Tulare became the bustling center ofthe valley’s railroad activity.
The young Tulare faced its share of difficulties, with threedevastating fires consuming the town in its first 14 years. Thecommunity overcame these hardships and was officiallyincorporated as a city in 1888. In 1891, Southern Pacific chose torelocate its valley headquarters to Bakersfield, prompting Tulareresidents to turn to a new source of economic income –agriculture. With a need for an ample water supply to support thenew industry, residents organized the Tulare Irrigation District inorder to construct a canal system between the city and the SierraNevada Mountains.
Agriculture continues to be the area’s leading industry, with morethan 250 commercial crops being produced in Tulare County eachyear. As a result of this booming economic generator, Tulare and itssurrounding area is widely regarded as the “Agricultural Center ofthe World.”
Tulare continues to grow and diversify with each coming year.Approximately 60,000 residents currently call Tulare home,enjoying an excellent quality of life characterized by outstandingschools and a hospital, rich cultural and entertainment outlets,attractive parks, a charming downtown and much more. As thecity grows, community leaders continue to invest in its future – allthe while maintaining the small-town atmosphere so many havecome to cherish.
