The city of Visalia is a city almost halfway between San Francisco and Los Angeles. It is located 230 miles south east from the city of San Francisco and 190 square miles north of Los Angeles. The agriculturally based city spanning 28.6 square miles, with a city population of 125,921, ranking as the 46th biggest city within the state of California and the 204th largest within the United States. It was ranked the 3rd fastest growing city within California and the 19th fastest growing city within the United States in the year 2007. The city is situated in the center of the San Joaquin Valley in Central California. People proudly refer to themselves as "Visalians." Visalia is nicknamed the "Jewel of the Valley" and is considered to be the Gateway to the Sequoias.

The town of Visalia was established during the year 1852, and is considered to be the first permanent inland settlement between Los Angeles and Stockton within the Sequoia Valley. Located a couple of miles away is the tallest mountain range within the US, the Sierra Nevada. Visalia is also the closest city to the Sequoia National park. Giant Sequoia trees, one of the largest living things on earth, could be found here.

The economy in Visalia mainly comprises agriculture, in particular: grapes, olives, citrus, cotton, and nursery products. Livestock, distribution and manufacturing facilities (mostly paper and electronic products) are likewise a driving force within the cities financial system. The fastest growing employer base is in the light manufacturing and commercial/industrial distribution sectors.

According to the 2009 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report, the top ten of the companies of the city include City of Visalia, County of Tulare, Cigna, College of the Sequoias, International Paper, Jo-Ann Stores, Visalia Medical Clinic and Kaweah Delta Medical Center.

There is one drawback to living within Visalia is that it is in close nearness to the Pacific Ring of Fire. There are approximately 10,000 earthquakes which hit the Pacific Ring of Fire every year. There have been no major earthquakes that have ever hit the city, though it does feel some of the aftershocks. Luckily, the majority are too low of an intensity to be felt. Practically all areas within the San Joaquin Valley are at risk to blind thrust earthquakes. Some parts of the city are susceptible to floods.
