The City of Fresno is located in the heart of the state in the fertile San Joaquin Valley. From the agricultural fields on the valley floor to the snow-capped peaks of the Sierra Nevadas, the Fresno area truly offers something for everyone. The ‘Who’, ‘What’, ‘When’, ‘Where’, and ‘Why’ begins here as we help you Discover Fresno! Fresno was founded by the Central Pacific Railroad Company in 1872. The location for the town was uninviting at best, with barren sand plains in all directions. However, Leland J. Stanford, a Company Director for the railroad, was so impressed with a wheat field he saw in the distance that he decided this was the place for the new station. In 1875 the Central California Colony was established south of Fresno which set the model for a system of development that was used throughout the San Joaquin Valley. Tracts of land were subdivided into 20-40 acre parcels, irrigated from a system of canals and often landscaped with boulevards of palms, eucalyptus or other drought-resistant trees. By 1903 there were 48 separate colonies or tracts in Fresno County which drew farmers and their families from Scandinavia and from across the United States.

Garden City`s Town Center, which opened in September of 2009 with the dedication of the City`s new 33,000 square foot City Hall, serves as the epicenter of local government and the “heart and soul” of Garden City. Located on Dean Forest Road just south of I-16, the Town Center earned praise from the Governor of Georgia as a “shining example” for the State of Georgia and won a Georgia Planning Association award for its innovative design. Garden City established the Town Center in a location that retains the comfort of small town living with the amenities of a larger urban environment. Town Center is located on 25 acres within the City`s first Mixed Use Zoning District, which encourages a livable, sustainable urban environment with a vibrant mix of uses on a walkable pedestrian scale. The Town Center Master Plan creates a network of well-connected urban streets designed to promote pedestrian connectivity. Some of the major elements of the plan include park and civic spaces, on-street parking, street trees, brick sidewalks, public art, benches, drinking fountains and bike racks, combined to support a welcoming environment. When complete, the Town Center will embody walkability and a mix of uses conveniently located to include shop front retail, restaurants, cafes, professional offices, medical facilities, residences and parks and open spaces.
