An agriculturally rich region, the County is one of the top three agricultural producing counties in the nation. Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks, Pixley National Wildlife Refuge, Golden Trout and Domeland Wilderness areas, and Colonel Allensworth State Historic Park lie within the County’s boundaries. Its central location is only hours away from San Luis Obispo, Yosemite, Monterey, Los Angeles, the Bay Area, and Sacramento.
