Located about 230 miles southeast from San Francisco, and 190 miles north of Los Angeles, Visalia is nestled in the San Joaquin Valley, the fifth largest city in the valley. At 130,000-plus population, (2015 state census) it's the 44th most populous city in California. It's the county seat of Tulare County, the center of government and economics in one of the most productive agricultural counties in the country. Its proximity tothe Sierra Nevada Mountains, Yosemite, Sequoia and Kings Canyon national parks assures lots of tourist traffic. It wasn't always Tulare County. In the 1850s, when California became a state, it was part of Mariposa County, a huge land expanse. In 1852, pioneer settlers made their homes in Four Creeks, a large but swampy area that caught the flow out of the Sierra Nevadas. They petitioned for county status and on July 10 of 1852, got their wish. The town, then consisting of some 60 to 80 inhabitants, about half of them school age, took on the name of Visalia after the Kentucky home town of its founder, Nathaniel Vise. Gold-seekers once thronged the area hoping for a big strike, but when riches eluded them, many settled down in Visalia to make homes and rear famlies. In 1859, it became a stagecoach stop for the Butterfield Overland Stage route from St. Louis, Mo., to San Francisco. A plaque at today's 116 Main Street memorializes this historical phase. But the town also attracted a nasty element that was bent on robbing stage travelers as well as its law-abiding citizens. Hotels and saloons became part of the scenery and commerce was a bit risky, if profitable. The arrival of the telegraph in 1860 brought the community closer to the rest of the United States, bringing news of preparations for the Civil War. Since the populace of Visalia was pretty evenly divided between North and South, they held a "mini Civil War" on the town's Main Street, which ended in a tie. Life went back to normal. But the event, along with the presence in the community of a pro-south newspaper, raised concerns back East about sedition and a military garrison was set up in the area. During the Civil War, the town incorporated and went about its business. And it's been going about its business ever since, with the aid of mobile notaries who can be summoned with a phone call to any location that is convenient for the client. In today's busy world, there are many private documents that by law require the perusal of a notary and his or her seal. That ensures a legal stamp of approval should the documents ever be contested. The list is long and includes such things as wills, deeds, arrangements for granting power of attorney, mortgage and other sales documents and a whole lot of et ceteras. You can meet with one of Visalia's traveling notaries at any location that suits you. Just make the call. In 2002, Larry Clark and Edward Lachman shot a film in town. It didn't play in the united States, but found audiences in Europe and other places around the world. The city also was featured in several episodes of the TV series 24. Ironically, many of the people involved never got the hang of the name, mispronouncing it at will. Visalia, because of its geography, has struggled with air pollution. Heavy auto traffic contributes to the problem, creating a murky sky over much of the San Joaquin Valley. The locals call it Tule Fog. The condition has prompted warnings from the American Lung Association, which ranked the area fourth most polluted in the country. Pollution levels have dropped some in recent decades through concerted efforts to limit vehicle emissions. Despite the sometimes murky air, Visalia thrives, boasting of a colorful past and a current standard of living that continues to contribute to growth. The area is rich in natural beauty and has taken steps to guard its native plants and animal habitats that range from creeks and rivers to hills and mountains. The Valley Oak is especially prized and an ordinance exists to guide pruning or removing the trees. The effort to support urban forests is enhanced by the presence of Mooney Grove Park, which hosts one of the biggest Valley Oak groves in the state. At one time, the town had a minor league baseball team called the Visalia Oaks. It had squirrel mascots named Oakie and Chatter.
